New York: Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo has conceded to his upstart rival Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary in the race to become mayor of New York City. Mamdani, 33, and Cuomo, 67, have offered New York voters starkly different visions on taxes and policing in a race that has at times mirrored the divisions roiling the Democratic Party nationally. The election has also become a microcosm of New Yorkers’ views on ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, with Cuomo pledging support for Israel as Mamdani criticized the wars in Gaza and Iran. “Tonight was not our night,” Cuomo told supporters on Wednesday AEST. “I want to applaud the Mamdani for a really smart and impactful campaign. Tonight is his night. He deserved it. He won.”
