Former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo shockingly conceded to upstart democratic socialist Zohrab Mamdani in Tuesday’s Democratic Primary Election for the next mayor of New York City.

43.5% to 36.4% right now
The election is not over. We are not even done with the first round. Cuomo must know that the “fix is in”. He should endrose Adams.
What happened to “it will take several weeks to know”. How do we know this so quickly? This seems like 1985.
Right now homes are selling in a week with bidding wars in Nassau County. I’ve heard it’s going on in NJ also. Anyone with a brain in NYC knows what’s coming.
Uganda born know-nothing will be the mayor of New York. He is all worried about eggs and milk. Here’s an idea Mr. Mmayor: keep your government nose out of where and how people buy milk and eggs. Mmkay, Mmr. Mmayor.
As if I needed another reason to never again set foot in NYC.
It was going to take weeks to know it was a close call with Cuomo wiñning.
The Muslim socialist has it in the bag with a 6 point lead.
So, is it a buyers market or a sellers market?
Popcorn. Need popcorn.
It has to do with how ranked choice voting works.
If Cuomo’s team had access to the ranked choice data on ballots already cast then they would know the final outcome.
Osama Bin Laden is smiling tonight!
Is it too late for another Independent candidate to enter the race? Hell, even Bloomberg would be better than the current crop of Adams and the Dem. Unfortunately, Sliwa’s chances of winning are slim to none. What a missed opportunity for New York Republicans. Maybe they’ve all left.
Did someone make Cuomo an offer he couldn’t refuse? They weren’t that far apart when you consider ranked choice voting.
On a side note, Approximately 950,000 votes cast, but there are approximately 40,000,000 eligible voters in NYC. Is it possible a Republican can win the mayoral election?
Congratulations, NYC! I can’t think of a more deserving city to be on the receiving end of a Mamdani. Enjoy, you idiots.
And the voters deserve it, good and hard.
How pathetic - he could easily catch up with ranked choice voting (just ask Oakland and Alaska candidates) but he’s so humiliated that he’s throwing in the towel early. No wonder he lost, he doesn’t have the cojones of Ed Koch, or any of the other greats.
I think 2024 and 2025 are the weirdest political cycles in a while.

“Osama Bin Laden is smiling tonight!”
I doubt that based on the New Testament.
