History was made Tuesday night as democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani carried out a stunning upset and defeated Andrew Cuomo in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary. As the results became clear Tuesday night, Cuomo conceded and called Mamdani to congratulate him. The New York state assemblymember will now be the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City in November's general election. "Tonight we made history," Mamdani told supporters. "In the words of Nelson Mandela, it always seems impossible until it is done. My friends, we have done it."
Moe Mitchell, national director for the Working Families Party, says Mamdani's campaign helped "create a multiracial working class alignment against authoritarianism [and] for a type of politics that is hopeful, that is visionary, that says we want something, we don't simply want to fight against something."
