New York-Zohran Mamdani announced a victory in a democratic mayor in New York on Tuesday evening after Andrew Cuomo lost the race in stunning nervousness, when a teenage, progressive on the mountain, which was practically unknown, when the competition began, he built a significant advantage over a more experienced, but scandalous former governor.
Although the final result of the race will continue to be settled by the number of ranking elections, Mamdani took a position proving only a few hours after closing the polls.
Mamdani’s winner, a 33-year-old democratic socialist who led an energetic focused campaign on maintenance costs, told the supporters: “I will be your democratic candidate for the mayor of New York.”
“I will be the mayor of every New Yorker, whether you voted for me, the governor of Cuomo, or he felt too disappointed for a long-broken political system to vote at all,” he said. “I will work to become a mayor
Cuomo, who was a leader during the race, which was his recurring offer from the sexual harassment scandal, lost his election, telling the crowd that he called Mamdani to congratulate him.
“He is his night tonight. He deserved it. He won,” Cuomo told his supporters.
Cuomo summed up Mamdani with a significant margin in the first choice votes and met with an extremely hard path to catch up when the voting cards are redistributed in the voting process in the ranking ranking in New York.
Mamdani, a member of the State Assembly from 2021, would be the first Muslim and Indian mayor in the city if he were elected. The current mayor Eric Adams omitted the basic one. It acts as independent in universal elections. Cuomo also has the opportunity to run in universal elections.
“We’ll look and make some decisions,” said Cuomo.
Cuomo and Mamdani were research in political contrasts and could play in a standard mode for the ideological division of the Democratic Party, with one candidate progressive and the other is moderate.
Cuomo characterized the city as a hazardous, uncontrolled place, desperately for an experienced leader who could restore order. He introduced the power of the political dynasty to the race, securing the impressive range of support from significant local leaders and work groups, while the committees of political activities were created to support his campaigns, which attracted stunning sums of cash.
Meanwhile, Mamdani presented an sanguine message that life in the city can improve as part of his program, which was focused on the laser idea that the mayor has power to reduce the cost of living. The progressive wing of the party joined him, and he secured support from two leading progress in the country, a representative of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and senator Bern Sanders.
The unofficial results of the election council in New York showed that Mamdani was on a larger number of voting cards than Cuomo. Mamdani was mentioned as the second selection of tens of thousands more voters than Cuomo. And the number of votes that will include voting in the ranking will certainly shrink. Over 200,000 voters mentioned only the first choice, the results of the election council show that Mamdani’s results in the first round may ultimately be enough to remove 50% of the threshold.
The final result of the race can say something about what leader democrats are looking for during the second term of office of President Donald Trump.
The main winner will face the current Adams, a democrat who decided to run as independent among public confusion in the case of the accusation of corruption allegations, and then abandoning the case by the Department of Justice of Trump. Republican Curtis Sliwa, founder of Guardian Angels, will vote in the universal elections of autumn.
The rest of the herd tried to gain recognition in a race in which almost every candidate threw himself as a person to challenge the Trump program.
Comptroller Brad Lander, the city’s liberal government, made a splash last week, when he was arrested after joining the weapon with a man, Federal agents tried to stop at the immigration court in Manhattan. In the last weeks of the Lander and Mamdani race, the cross have supported each other, trying to raise their collective support and damage to the Cuomo offer as part of the voting system in the ranking.
Among the other candidates are the speaker of the City Council of Adrienne Adams, senator of State Zellor Myrie, director of the Hedge Fund Whitney Tilson and former city controller Scott Stringer.
It was challenging to see that the bottom -up of Mamdani.
His army of teenage canvas constantly knocked on the door throughout the city, looking for support. The posters from his smiling cup were in store windows. You could not get to social media, not seeing one of his well-produced films that issue his vision-free buses, free childcare, modern apartments, a higher minimum wage and not only, paid by modern taxes from opulent people.
This youthful energy was noticeable on Tuesday evening, because both the sanguine canvas and the ecstatic fans placed the streets of Central Brooklyn on a sizzling summer day, creating a party atmosphere that spread from the survey to the surrounding districts.
In addition to the Caribbean pharmacy, Amani Kojo, a 23-year-old voter, laid a frozen tea of ​​Mamdani canvas, encouraging them to remain hydration.
“It is 100 degrees outside and it is a climate. New York is alive again,” Kojo said, raising a pile of brochures Mamdani. “He feels very electric, seeing all people, leaflets, all posts on my Instagram all day.”
Cuomo and some other Democrats cast Mamdani as non -qualified. They say that there are no management chops to be associated with the city’s extensive bureaucracy or deal with crises. Critics also sought to support Mamdani for Palestinian human rights.
In response, Mamdani slammed Cuomo because of the sexual harassment scandal and the Covid-19 pandemic behavior.
Cuomo resigned in 2021 after the report ordered by the Prosecutor General stated that he had sexually harassed at least 11 women. He always maintained that he deliberately did not harass women, saying that he simply remained in favor of what was considered to be proper in the workplace.
