Why do you think you're right?
Andrew Cuomo likely won’t win in five rounds or fewer due to the structure of ranked-choice voting (RCV) and the dynamics of the current race. His initial support is around 35–38%, far below the 50% majority required to win outright in early rounds. With at least 10 candidates in the race, votes from eliminated lower-tier candidates will be redistributed — and many of those second- and third-choice preferences are expected to favor progressive challengers like Zohran Mamdani

Why might you be wrong?
Adjusting my previous forecast after reevaluating the question and measuring at "five rounds or fewer", which is very unlikely.

Why do you think you're right?
Based on current polling and historical ranked-choice voting (RCV) patterns in NYC, it is unlikely that Andrew Cuomo will win the Democratic mayoral primary in five rounds or fewer. While he holds a narrow first-choice lead (~35–38%), simulations show challenger Zohran Mamdani gaining ground as lower-ranked candidates are eliminated, with most forecasts projecting a Mamdani win by round 7 or 8. In the 2021 mayoral primary, a similarly crowded field resulted in a 7-round decision, suggesting that without a majority in early rounds, Cuomo is unlikely to secure victory early. Overall, statistical modeling favors a longer contest, with a Cuomo win in ≤5 rounds considered improbable.

Why might you be wrong?
Polls may underrepresent Cuomo’s true support, especially among older or less vocal voters who are more likely to participate and rank him consistently across ballots. Second, RCV outcomes are notoriously difficult to predict—if multiple mid-tier candidates are ideologically closer to Cuomo, their supporters may rank him second or third, pushing him over the 50% threshold earlier than expected. Additionally, late-breaking events, strong ground game efforts, or strategic ranking by voters aiming to block Mamdani could all shift the redistribution pattern in Cuomo’s favor. Lastly, polling errors, turnout surprises, or ballot exhaustion could skew final outcomes unpredictably.
