The 33-year-old democratic socialist would be the first Muslim to lead the nation's largest city if elected.

The primary in staunchly liberal New York is likely to determine who becomes mayor in November’s election.

The former governor’s loss marks the “biggest upset in modern NYC history,” Trip Yang, a political strategist, told the BBC.

“A massive win for Zohran Mamdani that shows that when Donald Trump is President, New York Democrats want to see their leaders fight with enthusiasm and courage, and that’s what Zohran showed voters.”

In an interview with the New York Times, Cuomo said he was still examining whether he would run in the general election in November on the independent line.

    Did you look at where you are?

    It’s a Canadian community instance, and the article is from the BBC. Guess what the first B stands for the (hint: not America, and neither is this a “US based community”)

      Now I hate US defaultism as much as the next guy but this isn’t a case of it.

      The BBC posts articles regarding the entire world, it’s not entirely fixated on just the UK

        Correction, Canadian instance.

        sh.itjust.works is Canadian.

        So I guess a better question might be: why did you join a Canadian instance to create a generically named community about American politics?

        Did you think “gee, sh.itjustworks is a funny name, I’m going to sign up there”, was it more a land-grab for a high-level keyword “politics” as a community, instead of creating it as “uspolitics” or “americanpolitics”. Or maybe you just assumed American politics were the one that mattered most, even on a non-American instance?

        Whatever your reasoning, now Canadians who signed up for this Canadian instance see your American news in their feed under the “politics” heading. It’s not even “American politics relevant to Canadians”

        Not really a great look.
