In a stunning political upset, 33-year-old State Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani has outperformed former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the June 24 Democratic primary for New York City mayor. While official results await the July instant runoff count, Cuomo conceded just 90 minutes after polls closed, stating, “Tonight is his night. He deserved it. He won.” Mamdani is expected to widen his lead, thanks to strong lower-ranked support from voters who backed third-place candidate Brad Lander. With Democrats dominating the city, Mamdani enters the general election as the clear favorite.
