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.

    Depending on if NY elections are closed or open.

    Closed? Not if the same people that voted today vote again.

    Open. Likely Republicans will vote across the isle to stick it to the “radical socialist” and vote for Cuomo
