From the 19th News:
Cuomo concedes to Zohran Mamdani in New York City mayoral primary
In an upset, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani will be the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, defeating candidates including Andrew Cuomo, who was seeking a political comeback nearly four years after he resigned as governor of New York amid sexual misconduct allegations.
Cuomo conceded the race Tuesday night, before the final results of ranked-choice voting were clear.
Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described Democratic socialist, ran a campaign centered on making New York City more affordable.
He proposed free universal child care, creating city-run grocery stores, rolling out free bus service and freezing rents on rent-stabilized units.

Mamdani will likely be the nominee and face off against incumbent Eric Adams, who is running as an independent, and the GOP candidate who has not yet been selected.
