New York City voters firmly rejected Cuomo’s unwanted electoral advance — just like they rebuffed his dad, Mario Cuomo, 48 years ago as the patriarch suffered a stinging defeat to Ed Koch.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani obliterated Donald Trump in a rousing victory speech, calling the president a “despot” who has betrayed America. Mamdani, whom Trump labeled a “communist” this week before endorsing his controversial opponent Andrew Cuomo, will be the city’s first Muslim mayor.

"I know you're watching, turn the volume up," the 34-year-old socialist tells the president as he becomes the first Muslim mayor of New York City.

The former governor, part of New York’s political firmament for nearly half a century, finished what may be his final campaign with a bruising loss to Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor’s race.

Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani has seen his seen his polling lead slip to just 43.9% of support in the final AtlasIntel Poll for the New York City mayoral race, while independent candidate Andrew Cuomo trails at 39.4%.

Zohran Mamdani dared President Trump to keep up his attacks in a combative election night speech after being elected the next New York City mayor.
