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.
I think they’ll try to slow the progress as much as possible. They’ll run candidates that like promise 50% of what the further-left candidate promises, cook up a resume that makes them look more “experienced” than the more further-left candidate, then when they win, they only do 10% of what’s promised, then find excuses, while continuing to masquerade as a progressive.
I mean, if I were a greedy rich person, that’s how I’ll manipulate politics.
