Zohran Mamdani wins New York City mayor primary against Andrew Cuomo

Andrew Cuomo wanted to be the mayor of New York City. He was the governor before, but he had to leave his job. He tried to come back, but he lost the primary election to Zohran Mamdani. Cuomo said Mamdani won and that he will think about what to do next.

Zohran Mamdani is 33 years old. He was not very famous before. He was born in Uganda and came to New York City when he was a child. He wants to help poor people in the city. He wants free buses, free childcare, and more help for people who do not have much money.

Many people were surprised that Mamdani won. He is the first Muslim and Indian American to win this primary. Some famous people, like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders, said they support him. Now, Mamdani may become the next mayor of New York City.
