Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani — a self-described Democratic Socialist and vocal critic of Israel — has clinched the Democrat nomination for mayor of New York City, defeating none other than the disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo, who was seeking a political comeback after resigning amid sexual misconduct allegations, shockingly conceded before ranked-choice voting had concluded.
Cuomo’s decision comes amid mounting evidence that far-left socialist Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani had surged to an insurmountable lead on first‑choice ballots.
“Tonight is his night. He deserved it. He won,” Cuomo said.
BREAKING: Andrew Cuomo just conceded the primary race for NYC Mayor!
NYC is SCREWED.

Mamdani ran on a platform that mirrors failed socialist regimes worldwide: free everything, government-controlled services, and punishing private property owners through rent freezes.
But it’s not just his dangerous economic agenda that has people worried — it’s his long history of anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and anti-American rhetoric that has Jewish leaders urging their communities to leave the city altogether.
“Evacuate NYC immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) wrote on X.
The political advocacy group continued:
Tonight, Democrats have once again failed to stand with Jewish Americans—this time in New York City.
Raging antisemite, anti-American, anti-Israel Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani will be a total disaster for Jewish residents. And Democrat leaders—Senator Chuck Schumer, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, and Governor Kathy Hochul—let it happen. Their silence, dereliction of duty, and surrender to this madness are embarrassing and pathetic.
This is yet another data point proving what’s become undeniable: Democrats continue to nominate and embrace radical extremists who are fundamentally opposed to the values and priorities of the Jewish community.
As long as they refuse to change course, they will continue to hemorrhage Jewish support.
Tonight, Democrats AGAIN failed to stand with Jewish Americans, this time in New York City.
