Shocker in NYC: Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani stunned former governor Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday by jumping out to a lead so large that Cuomo conceded the city’s Democratic mayoral primary before the night was done. The next big question for New York is whether Cuomo chooses to mount a campaign in the general election anyway after such a clean defeat. The City, NOTUS’ partner in New York, unpacks how Mamdani came out on top. The other big question? What this means for who runs in — and who wins — Democratic campaigns, with a 33-year-old democratic socialist showing out against one of the party’s last remaining dynasties.
“This is the first big generational fight in the party but it won’t be the last.” Run for Something’s Amanda Litman told NOTUS’ Alex Roarty.
Less of a shocker: Anthony Weiner face-planted in his city council race. Now we wait for Trump’s Truth Social post.
