New York City has elected black former policeman Eric Adams as mayor, making the Democrat the next leader of America's biggest city.
The result was called by Associated Press shortly after the polls closed at 9pm Eastern Time, with less than 30 per cent of the vote counted. Adams already had a 50 point lead, CNN reported.
The centrist Democrat trounced Republican rival and volunteer crime fighter Curtis Sliwa in the liberal-voting bastion to become just the second African American to lead the Big Apple.
Sliwa, who founded the vigilante group Guardian Angels, showed up to vote on Tuesday with his cat - one of 17 he owns.
He has made animal welfare a pillar of his campaign.
The cat was denied entry to the polling station, but a poll worker held the animal while Sliwa went inside.

some NYPD sources. Adams was generally competent but very anti white as a supervisor
Maybe not the leftist hack like DeBlob but not expecting a competent mayor here.
I watched him on the Five as a guest.....unimpressive and didn’t appear to be serious about really winning.
No. Adams will kill New York. Consider his religion.
Agree, an improvement over the former jerk.
So the Crazy Cat Lady type has been joined by the Oddball Quirky Cat Guy? And those old Guardian Angels were never “vigilantes.” Ask Charles Bronson.
But the Dem won, of course. Sensible. /S
I thought Andrew Yang would have been good. At least Eric Adams was a former Republican(?) at some point...
Honestly anyone it seems is better than the current mayor.
Had Sliwa been a D, he’d have had all 17 of his cats vote
The cat motif for the campaign had one influence. Dr.Jill has ordered two things for the White House: A scratching post for herself and a kitty litter box for Joe between the Oval Office and the nearest bathroom. Both have Presidential Seal.
That thought gives one paws. I mean pause.
NYC is not old at all. I was all over Spain this year. Every city I was in was older than NY (arguable about Bilbao, in terms of being a city as such, but still). All of them “worked” as far as low crime, effective public services and cleanliness, and just plain fun and charm.
There are like 14 million folks in NYC, but according to the Slimes update around 600,000 votes have been counted, and that makes up 51%. Wonder why that is? Commies all stayed home mourning deBozo?
Adams will be the black DeBlazio. He hates stop and frisk and although he retired from the NYPD he didn’t nothing as a cop. He was despised by the rank and file cops. He has also said he WILL select a black woman as the next NY Police Commissioner. He’s all about race and hating whitey.
Guliani said he would be a disaster.
New York City gets every problem they consistently have because they ask for it....once again.
Exactly!!!!
Deja vu all over again...
Hope he doesn’t spend his time “dinkin” around...
A "romping" mayor ...
New York City has elected black former policeman Eric Adams as mayor...
centrist democrat bullsh##
Not going to go well for New York City....the left will lead this guy around like a puppy on a leash.
