Mamdani's leading competitor in the race, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday that he lost the June primary because Mamdani "mobilized the 20-to-30-year-olds, the socialists, the socialist organizations across the country sent volunteers, sent funding."

Cuomo said the upcoming general election is a "much different electorate," which will include moderate Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
But like Mamdani, more than half of Cuomo's donations, at 52%, also came from outside New York City.

Mamdani's campaign relaunched their city-wide canvassing efforts on the heels of their fundraising haul, touting more than 2,000 volunteers knocking on more than 50,000 doors across New York City.
The campaign also said more than 4,000 New Yorkers attended Mamdani's Scavenger Hunt on Sunday, an event Mamdani described as being about "love for New York City."

"With over 50,000 volunteers, thousands of small-dollar donors, and genuine enthusiasm for Zohran’s vision for a more affordable New York City, our momentum is surging," Mamdani campaign spokesperson, Dora Pekec, said in a statement celebrating the fundraising haul.
The Mamdani campaign added they are "proud to be fueled by true grassroots support that speaks to the people-powered movement we’re building."
The campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digtal's request for comment.
