Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani did not just win the NYC Democratic mayoral primary convincingly enough that his chief rival, former governor Andrew Cuomo, conceded immediately on the night of the June 24 election. Now, two weeks later, with the city's Ranked Choice Voting count finally concluding ... Mamdani can celebrate the fact that "our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in NYC history."
Why did Mamdani secure such a historic victory? Because he did exactly what national Democrats, stunned by the party's defeats in the 2024 presidential and congressional elections, keep saying they know they must do. "Zohran Mamdani talked about issues of relevance to working-class people. The city responded to him, and he won the [primary]" explained Senator Bernie Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont and two-time presidential candidate.
