Adams’ Fundraising Doubles Mamdani’s Since Shock NYC Primary

New York City Mayor Eric Adams raised more than $1.5 million from donors in the seventeen days after the city’s Democratic mayoral primary, nearly double the amount brought in by Zohran Mamdani, whose stunning win reinvigorated the incumbent’s struggling campaign.

Adams’ latest campaign disclosure, the first published since the June 24 primary, signals a resurgence in support for the incumbent mayor among the city’s donor class in the wake of Mamdani’s victory against former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Some of Cuomo’s donors have pivoted their support to Adams, whose campaign drew more than $1 million at a fundraiser last week.
