Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is on track to secure the Democratic nomination for mayor, after former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded to him Tuesday night following the first round of ranked-choice primary votes.
With 95% of precincts reporting two hours after polls closed at 9 p.m., 44% ranked Mamdani as their first choice while 36% chose Cuomo first and 11% had city Comptroller Brad Lander.
Mamdani emerged to raucus applause at his election party on a brewery rooftop in Long Island City, about 20 minutes after midnight.

For a dude who used to be governor and had a personal superPAC for the race, basically got slapped in the face lol. Hahaha fuck Cuomo and Adams. Here’s to Zohran winning the general and actually getting stuff done!
Andrew Cuomo wasn’t governor. Andrew was the guy from CNN. His brother was governor.
Chris Cuomo is the guy from CNN
And the polling suggested that pretty much everyone who ranked Cuomo had him first. Mamdani would likely have gained nearly all of the 20% of people who ranked someone else first if the instant runoff had continued.
I also wonder how many people had Mamdhani ranked second VS Cuomo.
