Zohran Mamdani has won the New York City mayoral race, marking a significant upset for Andrew Cuomo's anticipated comeback.
The election results showed a rejection of the old guard in New York City, with Mamdani emerging as the winner. In contrast, the old guard was approved in Nassau County, and there was a slight shift in the Long Island county legislatures.
It was his race to lose, many said, in a race against a sea of little-known challengers.
The outcome of the election has significant implications for the state's political landscape.
