Andrew Cuomo has conceded in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary to state assemblyman Zohran Mamdani in a stunning political upset.
Cuomo, the state's former governor, was attempting to pull off a political comeback after resigning from office in 2021 amid a sexual harassment scandal.
In a speech to supporters, Cuomo said Mamdani - a 33-year-old democratic socialist - had "won" the primary race and that "we are going to take a look and make some decisions".
