New York City Mayor Eric Adams has raised more than $1.5 million from over 1,600 donors in the seventeen days following the city's Democratic mayoral primary. This fundraising haul nearly doubles the amount raised by Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani during the same period. The surge in donations comes after Mamdani's primary victory over former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has since fallen behind in fundraising efforts. Many contributions to Adams's reelection campaign originated from employees of real estate companies. The fundraising boost positions Adams ahead of both Mamdani and Cuomo as he pursues an independent bid to retain his position as mayor.
