NYC Mayoral Primary: What the Data and Debates Reveal

What’s driving the New York City mayoral race, and how might ranked-choice voting, crime, and policy backlash shape the outcome?

In this episode, City Journal’s Charles Fain Lehman is joined by John Ketcham, Renu Mukherjee, and Jesse Arm to break down the latest from the NYC mayoral primary. They also weigh in on the Supreme Court’s ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti, what it means for free speech and state regulation, and how New Yorkers are navigating the heat and headlines.

“Exhausted ballots will be a significant factor in this election,” notes Ketcham.
