“Zohran Mamdani appeared to have cleared the first hurdle on his path to becoming New York’s first Muslim mayor, declaring victory in the city’s Democratic primary on Tuesday night, although it could be days before the final result is known. In a stunning upset, Andrew Cuomo – who had been a heavy favorite until recent weeks – conceded after it become clear the the 33-year-old democratic socialist had built a substantial lead over the more experienced but scandal-scarred former governor. … New York City uses a ranked-choice voting system, and as neither candidate is likely to reach 50%, the board of elections will now tally people’s second-choice candidates. Mamdani, who cross-endorsed with Brad Lander, a progressive who came third with 11.4% of the vote, last week, is predicted to benefit more than Cuomo from the count.” (06/25/25)
