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.
Maybe I’m out of the loop, but wasn’t it obvious that Zohran would win? He was the clear frontrunner, and Cuomo is a zombie.
No, he wasn’t. It was fairly close until recently because Cuomo is a really well known figure in NY politics and Mamdani is not.
No, never underestimate the ability of capital owners to ratfuck good people out of winning a “democratic” election.
So, the socialist won, and you’re saying he couldn’t win??
When did they say that?
No, they’re saying don’t trust pre-voting polling.
Polls were much closer than the result. Within 3-4% of each other if memory serves.
Also money raised last minute and an avalanche of “figures” going for Cuomo.
“But… but we used money! How could we have lost given all the money we spent?”

Cuomo was leading the polls by 9-16 %. This is a massive upset. Fuck polls
