Zohran Mamdani secured a decisive victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, defeating Andrew Cuomo by 12 percentage points. His win marks a significant shift in Democratic politics, positioning a progressive voice against incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in the general election.

Zohran Mamdani has won New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary. A new vote count Tuesday under the city’s ranked choice voting system confirmed the progressive legislator’s stunning upset of former Gov.

New York State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani was way ahead after ballots were counted last week, but the city’s ranked choice system meant he could not clinch the nomination until second-choice votes were counted Tuesday.
