"I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life, but let tonight be the final time I utter his name as we turn the page on a politics that abandons the many and answers only to the few, he said. New York, tonight you have delivered a mandate for change, a mandate for a new kind of politics, a mandate for a city we can afford, and a mandate for a government that delivers exactly that."
"Cuomo's concession speech in Midtown at his own event ended in an uncomfortable moment as he scolded his own supporters for jeering and booing at the one point as he mentioned Mamdani's name in congratulations. That is not right, and that is not us, he insisted. We will unite for New York City because we love New York City, before then warning Mamdani had made promises that we know cannot be met."
Andrew Cuomo did not call Zohran Mamdani to concede, and staff checked both of his phones. Zohran Mamdani won the New York mayoralty by a near ten-point margin and framed the victory as the toppling of the Cuomo political dynasty. Mamdani declared that the night should be the final time he utters Andrew Cuomo's name and called for a new politics that abandons the few and serves the many, delivering a mandate for change, affordability and government that delivers. Cuomo stood on stage in Midtown, urged New Yorkers to unite for the city, scolded supporters for jeering, and warned that some promises cannot be met.
