New Yorkers emerging from more than a year of pandemic misery will cast ballots Tuesday for a new mayor who will determine the city’s path to recovery. Voters will choose from a wide-ranging field that includes an ex-cop, a failed presidential candidate, a Wall Street executive and several former city bureaucrats.
The Democratic primary is garnering most of the attention, given that the winner will likely prevail in November against the Republican nominee in the overwhelmingly Democratic city.
