WASHINGTON—A political earthquake hit New York City on the night of June 24, as state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani was elected as the Democratic Party’s nominee for mayor in the 2025 general election.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, won 56 percent of the vote against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the scion of the state’s latest political dynasty. As the Democratic nominee to lead one of the country’s most Democratic-leaning cities, Mamdani would traditionally be the favorite to win November’s general election.
