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.

    I keep writing my reps about how much I approve of Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, and I’ll now mention Zohran too!

    I live in a blue state near NY. Im tired of the Dem party not backing actual progressive candidates.

    Let your reps know how much you approve of their messages! We need hope!
