It was never doubt after his amazing victory last week, but Zahran Mamdani on Tuesday announced the winner New York City The Prime Minister’s Democratic Party.

But the big question remains: Will he face 33-year-old democratic socialism from Queens-who defeated former New York Governor Andrew Como-Komo again in the general elections in November?

The Electoral Council in New York City published the official results of three rounds of voting to vote from the ranking from the mayor last week, and Mamdani won the majority in the third round, with 56 % of the votes.

Komo, the trio -term ruler who resigned from his position in 2021, won the number of multiple scandals and was aiming at political return, 44 % of the votes. Cuomo was the candidate in the municipality’s primary race for several months until Mamdani closed the gap in the final weeks of the campaign.

Mamdani political earthquake is the rocks of the Democrats

With his victory over Komo and nine other candidates – which was officially called Associated Press – Mamdani is now one major step to become the first Muslim mayor in the country’s most populated city.

Mamdani, whose presentation last week, received political shock waves across the country, more than 545,000 votes, the highest total of the winner of the mayor of Democratic Municipality in New York City for nearly four decades. More than a million votes were thrown in the primary stage, the largest since 1989.

“I am modest of support,” Mamdani wrote in a post on social media. “This is just the beginning of expanding our alliance to make New York City, affordable. We will do so together.”

Republicans use Mamdani Bombeshil on Komo as a ammunition to bomb the Democrats as extremists

Mamdani is now the favorite in the general elections in New York City, where Democrats exceed the number of Republicans by almost six to one.

He will face in November against the current mayor Eric Adams -Dimensia is nominated for his re -election as an independent leader after his survey numbers decreased.

The Adams poll numbers were drowned even before he accused him last year on five charges, which accused the mayor of bribery and fraud as part of the “long -term” scheme to take personal benefit from contacts with foreign officials.

The mayor was brilliantly brilliant to the president Donald Trump, The Ministry of Justice rejected earlier this year the concerns of corruption, so Adams can work with the Trump administration to the illegal immigration campaign.

Also in voting is Republican Cortis Celoa, the founder of the volunteer crime fighting patrols known as the Guardian angels. Sliwa is the Republican Party candidate for the second consecutive session. This is also managed as a precedent federal federal Jim and Al -Den.

While Intisar Mamdani approved the elementary night, Komo left the door open to run as an independent candidate, which is the rules of elections in the statement of New York State.

Cuomo allowed to pass the deadline last week for the candidates who have already qualified to run as independents to decline the independent ballot line.

But the sources told Fox News last week that Komo has not yet committed to managing an active general electoral campaign during the summer until the fall.

If Komo comes out of the race at a later time, his name will remain in the general voting of the elections.

“Extremism, division and empty promises are not the solution to the problems of this city, and although this was a look at what motivates a segment of primary voters, it does not represent the most important of that,” said Rich Azobardi, chief adviser to the Como campaign, said in a clear blow in Mamdani.

“We will continue talks with people from all over the city while specifying the next steps,” Azobardi added.

Mamdani rose to a basic victory thanks to an active campaign that focuses heavily on the ability to withstand costs and the high cost of living in New York City.

What does Mamdani victory mean the amazing primary for Democrats in the country

Mamdani used smart media platforms, including Tiktok, where he shared voters in the low density. He suggested getting rid of prices to ride the vast bus system in New York City, make Kony (New York City University) “free of tuition fees”, freezing rents on municipal housing, providing “free children’s sponsorship” for children up to 5 years, and establishing government -run groceries.

And Mamdani, thanks to the efforts made by a volunteer army at the level of the popular base, installed a wave of support from young and progressive voters to achieve first place.

In his statement on Tuesday, Azobardi admitted that “this preliminary election witnessed a significant increase in voters under the age of 30, and those who have not voted before – completely changed the total voters, and for this reason no survey or model has predicted – a result of the feeling of the council at the city level.”

Mamdani’s amazing victory last week sparked long -term discussions within the Democratic Party between its most moderate and progressive wings, and between strangers and founding.

The debate stressed whether the party’s policy, or the correspondence is to blame the setbacks of last November elections, when Democrats lost control of the White House and the Senate, and they failed to strengthen the majority of the House of Representatives.

In New York, senior leaders of the Democratic Party, including the governor of the state, Kathi Hochol, the leader of the Senate’s minority Chuck Schumer and the minority leader in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez, praised the campaign of Mamdani. But they have so far refrained from supporting the mayor’s candidate.
