When Andrew Cuomo appeared before a thinning crowd of supporters Tuesday night to concede the New York City mayoral race, the moment crystallized what months of polling had already suggested: that New York had moved on from the Cuomo era.

Democrat Zohran Mamdani spoke directly to President Donald Trump in a fiery victory speech after winning the New York City mayoral election on Nov. 4.

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo faced off for the future of the New York City and the direction of the Democratic Party in a contentious mayoral race.

Republicans are already seeking to tie other Democrats to Mamdani ahead of the midterms and 2028 presidential race.

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.

Donald Trump did NOT stay silent after Zohran Mamdani’s historic New York City mayoral victory. Moments after Mamdani’s speech in Brooklyn, Trump fired off a cryptic four-word Truth Social post that instantly sent political circles into a frenzy.

Newsweek reached out to Mamdani’s campaign for comment via email.
