Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist and state lawmaker, is on track to win the Democratic primary for New York City’s next mayor, marking a major upheaval of the city’s political landscape with all eyes on the future of the fractured party.
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo — widely considered among pundits to be the frontrunner against a field of progressive candidates who urged supporters to keep him off their ballots — called Mamdani to concede Tuesday night after more than one million Democratic voters cast their ballots for the next chief executive of the largest city in the United States.
