Zohran Mamdani has won the New York City mayoral race, defeating Andrew Cuomo, whose anticipated comeback has faltered.
Andrew Cuomo had been leading in the polls in the spring, but ultimately conceded the election to Mamdani in Manhattan on Tuesday.
The outcome marks a rejection of the old guard in New York City, with Mamdani's win being one of the most striking outcomes of Election Day 2025.
It was his race to lose, many said, in a race against a sea of little-known challengers.
