Corrupt real estate developers had a tough night in New York City, where developer puppet ANDREW CUOMO was defeated in the New York City Democratic Primary.  Even under one-party rule in St. Johns County, Florida, we don't cotton to the power of the wealthy to ruin our environment and quality of life..  Let freedom ring!

Cuomo concedes to Mamdani in NYC mayor’s primary

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) conceded Tuesday night to New York State assemblymember Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral primary, as the 33-year-old progressive candidate held a substantial lead with the race heading to a ranked-choice count.

“Tonight was not our night,” Cuomo told his supporters. “Tonight was Assemblyman Mamdani’s night and he put together a great campaign, and he touched young people and inspired them and moved them and got them to come out and vote.”

“He really ran a highly impactful campaign,” Cuomo added. “I called him, I congratulated him.”

Earlier Tuesday, Decision Desk HQ projected the race would head to a ranked-choice count as Mamdani held a solid lead over the former governor. The vote counting will continue even though Cuomo has conceded in the primary.

“Decision Desk HQ projects no candidate will reach the 50% plus threshold in the first round, sending the New York City Democratic Mayoral primary to Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV),” said Scott Tranter, DDHQ’s director of data science. “The City of New York will have their first release of the RCV votes next Tuesday, July 1st.”

“Zohran Mamdani will go into the RCV process as the favorite,” Tranter added. “In addition to his current vote lead, he has been endorsed by third place finisher Brad Lander and can expect to pick up a substantial portion of Lander’s supporters once their second choice votes are allocated in the RCV process.”

Mamdani, a democratic socialist endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), stunned observers Tuesday night with his strong showing against the former governor. Most polls leading up to Election Day showed Cuomo leading, though not outright winning, in the first round.
