Your Questions About the New York City Mayor's Race
Good morning. It's Wednesday. Today we'll answer some reader questions about Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani and the New York City mayor's race. We'll also explain why the subway floods so often during rainstorms.
Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani stunned New York City, the country and many in his own party when he defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary last month.
As voters and political observers digest the primary results and look toward the general election, questions have also arisen: about the candidates, how journalists are covering the race and what it all means. We asked readers for their questions, and more than 100 poured in from all over the world. Our reporters and editors have answered 21 so far, a few of which are below. Read the full article here.
We'll keep at it until the November election, sharing selections in this newsletter. Submit your questions here.
