Andrew Cuomo concedes New York City Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani
- Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist, defeated former governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary on June 25, 2025.
- The race followed Cuomo's 2021 resignation amid a sexual harassment scandal and centered on issues like housing affordability and rising antisemitism in the city.
- Mamdani campaigned on promises including rent freezes, free public buses, universal childcare, city-run grocery stores, and proposed a community safety department to combat hate crimes including antisemitism.
- By the end of Tuesday, Mamdani held 43.5% of first-round votes with Cuomo at 36.4%, and Mamdani declared, "Tonight, we made history," while Cuomo conceded but left open a possible independent run.
- Mamdani now leads to become the Democratic nominee, potentially becoming New York City's first Muslim mayor and marking a significant shift in the city's political landscape.
