Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani as the 33-year old member of the state Assembly had a significant lead in the race Tuesday night.

Cuomo’s concession came as the race’s outcome will be decided by a ranked choice count after neither Democrat got a clear majority in the vote.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist member of the state Assembly, started to pull ahead with more than an estimated 80% of ballots counted.

    The party successfully argued in court that they don’t have to follow their own rules.

    And no one voted for harris in the primaries.

      Anyone could have run vrs Biden. That asswipe from Michigan did. I looked into his politics and decided I would rather have Biden.

        Come on. The party fought harder to keep other, better candidates off the ballots harder than it fought for anything in the preceding years of the biden administration. They wanted biden, trump, and then no one else. In that order.

          They fought like the fight Trump. Sternly worded letters. Op eds. Speeches. Press conferences. Maybe a procedural vote or 2.

          You must be really inspired by that energy.
