Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani as the 33-year old member of the state Assembly had a significant lead in the race Tuesday night, the AP reports.
Cuomo, in a speech to supporters, said Mamdani “won” and that “we are going to take a look and make some decisions.
”New York Times: “Even with a loss to Mamdani, Cuomo could still run as an independent in November. He has filed to run in November on an independent line he created called Fight and Deliver. Cuomo has been unclear when asked if he would run as an independent if he lost the primary.”
