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.
Middle age progressives didn’t vote for Bernie twice. Is it because they’re actually small in numbers or is it because they are pissed but don’t channel this energy into anything? I let you to decide which is worse.
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.
