Zohran Mamdani Clinches Primary

A definitive primary was unexpected. But last night, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo conceded the democratic primary race, seemingly handing the nomination over to Queens assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. Because Mamdani did not breach 50 points of first-choice votes, the race is still ongoing. The New York Board of Elections will declare an official winner using the ranked choice system, next week on July 1st. WFUV’s Colby McCaskill, Alexandra Pfau and Livia Regina recap the night and their experience watching the tight race live.
