In the race for the Democrat nomination to be mayor of New York City, Andrew Cuomo has now conceded to far left socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, who is now poised to win the contest.
It’s amazing that Cuomo would give this up so easily without a fight.
From the 19th News:
Cuomo concedes to Zohran Mamdani in New York City mayoral primary
In an upset, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani will be the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, defeating candidates including Andrew Cuomo, who was seeking a political comeback nearly four years after he resigned as governor of New York amid sexual misconduct allegations.
Cuomo conceded the race Tuesday night, before the final results of ranked-choice voting were clear.
Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described Democratic socialist, ran a campaign centered on making New York City more affordable. He proposed free universal child care, creating city-run grocery stores, rolling out free bus service and freezing rents on rent-stabilized units.

Mamdani will likely be the nominee and face off against incumbent Eric Adams, who is running as an independent, and the GOP candidate who has not yet been selected.

I do not even know what to say. London, Paris, Sweden, Denmark, New York. The Infitada is winning.
Agreed. He's the only viable option.
Isn’t there any ranked choice hope for Cuomo this vote is first round.

Can Cuomo run in November as an independent? I know this has happened in Buffalo a few times.
All the votes have been cast—including all the ranked choice votes.
All that remains is the official tabulation.
Imho Cuomo has the unreleased data and that is why he is conceding.
Reminds me of 2020 when all the Dem Presidential candidates suddenly decided they didn’t want to run any more, in the face of the immensely powerful JOSEPH ROBINETTE BIDEN.
In other words, someone made Cuomo an offer he couldn’t refuse.
This says as much about the residents of NYC as it does about the radical socialist clown they elected. Trump needs to wall off NYC and its residents from the federal treasury if this guy wins the general as capital will flee the city. Let them live and suffer with their folly alone
Damn…
Wall off NYC. Drop help onto the Bronx.
I am watching coverage on CSPN2. There is a blonde in a blue dress anchoring who appears to want to be fitted for a hijab. She is gushing over Mondani
Mayor Adams has been pretty good recently, especially when his cop side comes out.
It would be nice to have noble opposition like Adams rather than insane trannies and jihadists.

He’s promised so much free and reduced stuff without indicating who’s going to pay for it. No way the city can survive.
The fix is in.
