Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani as the 33-year old member of the state Assembly had a significant lead in the race Tuesday night.
Cuomo’s concession came as the race’s outcome will be decided by a ranked choice count after neither Democrat got a clear majority in the vote.
Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist member of the state Assembly, started to pull ahead with more than an estimated 80% of ballots counted.
Small in number. Bernie came close both times, but 40% of the primary voters is like 2% of the population.
I would remind you that Clinton was legit popular with dem primary voters. She nearly won vrs Barak Obama, historically charismatic candidate.
