Andrew Cuomo concedes New York Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani - midwest.social

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani as the 33-year old member of the state Assembly had a significant lead in the race Tuesday night. Cuomo’s concession came as the race’s outcome will be decided by a ranked choice count after neither Democrat got a clear majority in the vote. Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist member of the state Assembly, started to pull ahead with more than an estimated 80% of ballots counted.

I better not hear another liberal saying we can't split the vote again.
Cuomo to also run as independent for mayor

He will also continue to seek the Democratic nomination.

The liberal candidate who lost (Cuomo) has announced he is going to run in the general as an independent (which is in OP’s link), instead of supporting the nominee. So Cuomo primary voters may split from the Democratic nominee in the general for Cuomo.
