Zohran Mamdani DEM 1,018,190 50.3% Andrew Cuomo Oth 841,476 41.6% Curtis Sliwa GOP 144,554 7.2% I'm not looking forward to the endless stream of 'communist' and 'anti-semite' BS that the Trump team will be throwing at this guy for the foreseeable future. If I remember, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia identified as a democratic Socialist in the New Deal years, and he was one of the best mayors New York has ever had. I doubt Mamdani will be another LaGuardia, but his campaign and his victory tonight does show some promise.
