Andrew Cuomo’s concession came as the race’s outcome will be decided by a ranked choice count after neither Democrat got a clear majority in the vote.

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.

Cuomo’s concession came as the race’s outcome will be decided by a ranked choice count after neither Democrat got a clear majority in the vote.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist member of the state Assembly, started to pull ahead with more than an estimated 80% of ballots counted.

    As I said elsewhere in the thread: I better not hear another liberal saying we can’t split the vote again.

    Do you actually understand the difference between FPTP and ranked choice?

      They’re talking about the general election, which is FPTP, and losing primary moderates refusing the result and trying again in the general.

      The NYC general is FPTP, and Cuomo is running anyway despite having lost the primary. Neither me nor the other person are criticizing anyone for running in the primary.

      Do you actually understand the voting process you’re commenting on?

      EDIT: I’ll take that as saying the same thing as the others above me as a “No, I don’t get what I’m commenting on, everyone is wrong but me.”
