New Yorkers are casting their ballots Tuesday in a fiercely contested mayoral election that could make history for the city.

Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani plans to publicly clarify his stance on the phrase “globalize the intifada” this week, as he works to broaden support within the Democratic establishment and ease concerns from Jewish leaders and business communities, according to sources familiar with the discussions.

Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist, has declared a groundbreaking victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, positioning himself as a leading contender to become the city’s first Muslim mayor.
