Cuomo concedes NY mayor primary to left-wing Zohran Mamdani in stunning political upset

In a surprising upset, left-wing Democrat Zohran Mamdani defeated former governor Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral primary race. Cuomo, who resigned amid a sexual harassment scandal in 2021, conceded the race to Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman and democratic socialist. Mamdani's potential victory could make him the first Muslim and Indian American to lead NYC, impacting the upcoming November election and showcasing a shift in Democratic Party dynamics post-2020 election losses.
