Andrew Cuomo concedes New York Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani

apnews.com Zohran Mamdani declares victory in NYC's Democratic mayoral primary as Cuomo concedes

Zohran Mamdani has declared victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary after Andrew Cuomo conceded the race in a stunning upset.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani as the 33-year old member of the state Assembly had a significant lead in the race Tuesday night.

Cuomo’s concession came as the race’s outcome will be decided by a ranked choice count after neither Democrat got a clear majority in the vote.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist member of the state Assembly, started to pull ahead with more than an estimated 80% of ballots counted.

This is why ranked choice has been banned in a lot of places. It breaks the duopoly.
So you don't have to spend millions on a liberal Joe Rogan, or attack trans people, or support genocide to win a race in America? God damn, that's incredible!

I'm very happy to hear this news. Genuinely one of the best news I've heard all year round. Maybe there is a sliver of hope.
Thank fuck

Hopefully he wins the general
"Nearly a quarter of early voters had not voted in a Democratic primary at any point between 2012 and 2024."

Here you go folks- GET INVOLVED! Go vote! Every single election, especially primaries.
The fact that Clinton endorsed Cuomo is the cherry on top.
Poor people be voting for the conservative while higher income people be voting for the socialist. This is so ironic...

Bu- bu- but is he gonna visit Israel? /s

context

In a debate they asked where candidates would visit. Once one of them said they'd visit Israel, a lot of others said they would too. Mamdani basically said he'd stay in NYC because he'd be the mayor and it's important to focus on his constituents. So then the moderators are like "Just to clarify, you wouldn't visit Israel?" And he's like I wanna focus on New Yorkers then they're like "Do you support Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state?" 🙄 Absolutely insane. The man just answers "where would you visit" by saying he wouldn't travel so he can focus on constituents and it turns into a purity test about his views on Israel's existence? Just shameful. Like imagine if someone is like "I'll have a salad" and then the waiter asks "Do you support cattle farmer's right to earn a living?"
Good. The Democratic machine didn’t want this. It happened anyways. Maybe they will pull head from ass. (Doubtful)
If this election was held in 2023, you have to wonder if the outcome would have been wildly different.

For once, an encouraging sign for sanity and common sense.
If the sexual predators coalition had won this thing the party might have collapsed. So this is good for the party and the city.
Holy shit! It happened! I'm elated.

Edit: Congrats New Yorkers!
FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT! 🤛

Incredible result for him and NY, and I hope this signs the death knell of Cuomo’s career. Step off, creeper.
Sure would be nice if this is a sign of things to come
How long util he gets couped by the CIA?
Watch that rat fuck run as independent to split the vote.
I'm honestly surprised Mamdani is still alive in the US, given his name.

It's like hearing about a mayor in a town in Nazi Germany named Abram Mankowitz.
As non american I just discovered Mamdani and he seems like a legit dude who cares and has the energy to match. Wishing luck to New York friends here!
Oh this news made me smile. Let's go NYC!
How long before he gets disappeared by ICE?
Didn't he just announce he was going to run third party yesterday anyway?

I swear I read an article about that on here
Now you and your brother can go fuck a meatball. Fucking clowns.
I better not hear another liberal saying we can't split the vote again.
Someone is going to run as an independent in the general election. I really hope they aren’t able to rat fuck this win.
Ya love to see it
Some good news for the week.
I mean, yay, but...

an estimated 80% of ballots counted.

That's just the first round, right? Does he not understand how RCV works? Unless his team already knows who everyone's second and third choices are, it's not remotely over yet. What am I missing?
You don’t mess with the Zohran.
LET'S FUCKING GO!
get owned, dipshit
Woot woot! M-a-m-d-a-n-i, Mamdani baby!
Guessing there will be a new appointment announced soon
he was already the poisoned fruit, no need to push.
what if Eric Adams wins
