Zohran Mamdani achieved a surprising victory in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, emerging as a strong contender against former governor Andrew Cuomo, who conceded defeat. With 93 percent of results counted, Mamdani led with 43.5 percent of the vote. His candidacy represents a historic moment, as he would be the first Muslim and Indian-American mayor if elected. Cuomo, despite his concession, hinted at a potential run as an independent. New York officials and candidates reacted strongly, emphasizing the need for new leadership and responding to the demand for a more affordable city.
Tonight, we made history. In the words of Nelson Mandela, it always seems impossible until it is done. My friends, we have done it.
Andrew Cuomo is in the past. He is not the present or future of New York City.
