It was amazing that the better choice in the primary was Andrew Freaking Cuomo

Andrew Cuomo Concedes to Socialist Zohran Mamdani in NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary

Former New York Gov Andrew Cuomo (D) conceded to New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D) after Mamdani took the lead in New York City’s Democratic Mayoral Primary.

Cuomo told his supporters that tonight was “not” their night and added that “tonight was Assemblyman Mamdani’s night,” according to the Hill.

“He put together a great campaign, and he touched young people and inspired them and moved them and got them to come out and vote,” Cuomo added.

Per the outlet, Cuomo’s concession came after “Decision Desk HQ projected the race would head to a ranked-choice count.”

Mamdani has a pretty decent lead, but, shocking (not really), they say it will take days for the final count. He’s pushing every far left idea that you can think of, including city own grocery stores. Just like in Russia!

Takeaways from New York City’s mayoral primary: Mamdani delivers a political earthquake

Zohran Mamdani delivered a political earthquake Tuesday in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, riding progressive demands for change in a city facing an affordability crisis to the brink of a stunning victory. CNN

Democratic voters rejected a scandal-plagued icon of the party’s past, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Instead, they backed a 33-year-old democratic socialist who energized young voters and progressives with a campaign that could come to represent the first draft of a new playbook.

And the NY Times

A New Political Star Emerges Out of a Fractured Democratic Party
The emergence of Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, is likely to divide national Democrats, who are already torn about what the party should stand for.

Um, he hasn’t even won the mayor’s job yet. There’s lots of squeeing from the media. The NY Post says it’s a bad earthquake

Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory over three-term ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s mayoral primary is a “political earthquake” that will pressure the national Democratic Party to move further left, political analysts told The Post.

Dems who got trounced by President Trump and the GOP last year will have to pay more attention to the views of progressive, younger voters who propelled Mamdani’s candidacy — as well as struggling working class voters — as they prepare for midterm congressional elections, strategists, pollsters and union leaders said.

Now it’s time to see if he can win the general

If Mamdani wins, people are actually more worried about him turning NYC into London, not so much his Progressive views. A place where there are grooming gangs, Islamists forcing their women to cover up and telling Americans to cover up, creating no go zones and Sharia courts, and so much more. A place where Jews are not welcome. NYC would be unrecognizable.
