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.

      Plenty of brown natural-born citizens voted for Trump, under the theory that they will be considered one of the “good ones”…

        That group is infuriating. The worst are the ones that drag Democratic primaries to the right, then vote Republican anyways.

      Yes, but the white people who voted for him aren’t going to care about him deporting people for being brown. The brown people who voted for him might, if he doesn’t give at least the barest of excuse
