"We have the call of the New York City mayor's race at five past the hour after the polls had closed, McShane said. And Zohran Mamdani, the 34-year-old democratic socialist, is the winner as expected and will be the next mayor here in New York City. At the time, Mamdani led Andrew Cuomo 52% to 40% with 35% of the vote in."
"And of course, I wanted my brother to win. I believe in my brother. I think he's a tremendous operator within government. But he's not what Democrats want right now in their party. And Democrats win in New York City I mean, that's the one-line analysis is, the Democrat was gonna win in New York City. But the type of Democrat and what they want, I do believe, there's a metaphor here as a reaction to MAGA,"
Zohran Mamdani defeated Republican Curtis Sliwa and former Governor Andrew Cuomo to win the New York City mayoralty. Andrew Cuomo ran as an independent after losing the Democratic primary to Mamdani. NewsNation, alongside Decision Desk HQ, called the race and Connell McShane announced Mamdani as the projected winner. At the time of the call, Mamdani led Andrew Cuomo 52% to 40% with 35% of precincts reporting, while Sliwa stood at eight percent. Chris Cuomo co-anchored the network's coverage, noted his personal preference for his brother, and said the results signaled Democrats choosing a different type of candidate amid a reaction to MAGA.
