New York City woke to a “political earthquake” this morning as progressive residents celebrated the apparent victory of the 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani over his political establishment rival Andrew Cuomo for the Democrat mayoral nomination.
Supporters poured in to offer their congratulations after the news broke that Mamdani, the self-described democratic socialist who if elected would become New York’s first Muslim mayor, was on track to win the city’s Democratic primary on Tuesday night.
