New York City Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is the Democrat Party’s nominee for New York City Mayor. Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo conceded before 11pm, making Mamdani the first Muslim to be nominated by a major party for NYC Mayor.

“Tonight was not our night” Cuomo said at the headquarters of the New York City carpenters union. “I’m very proud of the campaign that we ran.”

According to Politico:

Mamdani won 43.5 percent of first-place votes to Cuomo’s 36.3 percent, according to the New York City Board of Elections. But that outcome is not final. The board is expected to announce full results on July 1 in an election that utilized ranked-choice voting, which allows New Yorkers to pick up to five candidates in order of preference.

Unlike Cuomo, Mamdani employed a ranked-choice strategy by cross-endorsing third-place finisher Brad Lander, so he stands to benefit from the practice. But polling in the race was tight, and Cuomo led nearly every public opinion survey, bolstered by a $25 million super PAC that flooded airwaves and mailboxes with anti-Mamdani and pro-Cuomo messaging.

If Mamdani’s lead holds, it would mark a humiliating defeat for Cuomo, a fixture in New York politics who tried to resurrect his career four years after resigning in disgrace, following sexual harassment and Covid mismanagement allegations. A Mamdani victory would also be tantamount to a political earthquake that will reverberate across the country, as the Democratic Party — still reeling from its losses last year — tries to chart its path forward. His lead late Tuesday night portends what will likely be an historic triumph of the party’s left wing in the biggest city in the United States, for one of the highest-profile jobs in American politics.

Mamdani is considered by many conservative pundits as being the most radical leftist to potentially lead a major city in American history. If he wins the general election, he will also be the most powerful Muslim in western society.

As a Democrat in far-left New York City, his chances of winning the general election are all but assured.

Here are some reactions on social media:

As polls close Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s odds skyrocket to 99% on Kalshi.

Election night party for Mamdani and his socialist supporters.

These people are all imbeciles. Every single one of them. They think that socialism can work even though it’s failed every time it’s been implemented in history.
