Mamdani Campaign โคSees Post-Primary fundraising Boost as Cuomo Lags
New โคYork, NY – Zohran mamdani’s campaign โexperiencedโข a surge in donations following the Democratic primary, while former Gov.โ Andrew Cuomo’s fundraising efforts have remained sluggish, according to a recent analysisโ of campaign finance data.โ The influx of support for Mamdani comes as he aims to build โฃmomentum heading into the general election, contrasting sharply withโ Cuomo’s stalled financial progress.
This shift in fundraising dynamics underscores a broader realignment within โขNew York politics,highlighting Mamdani’s ability to mobilize a new base of support and the challenges โfacing Cuomo as he seeks to re-establish his โpolitical footing. The โfinancial disparity could substantially impact each candidate’s ability toโ reach voters and โeffectively campaign in the coming months, perhaps shaping the outcome of the generalโ election.
An analysis of donor demographics โขrevealsโค a key difference in the candidates’ support bases. Mr. Sliwa,โฃ founder of the Guardian Angels, draws primarily from older โคdonors, while Mr. Mamdani’s campaign has successfullyโ engaged “zero-prime voters”-New Yorkers โขwho haven’t participated in several recent primary elections. A review of the age distribution of voters in the Democratic primary โคshowed youngerโค voters turned out significantly more than in the 2021 primary.
The data indicates a โgrowing enthusiasm for Mamdaniโ among a โdemographic โคtraditionally less engaged in the political process.this success is attributed, โin part, toโ a strategic focus on reaching these votersโข andโ addressing issues relevant to their concerns. An analysis publishedโข by The New York Times detailed how Mamdani’s campaign capitalized on increased โขturnout among younger voters.
