The primary in staunchly liberal New York is likely to determine who becomes mayor in November’s election.

The former governor’s loss marks the “biggest upset in modern NYC history,” Trip Yang, a political strategist, told the BBC.

“A massive win for Zohran Mamdani that shows that when Donald Trump is President, New York Democrats want to see their leaders fight with enthusiasm and courage, and that’s what Zohran showed voters.”

In an interview with the New York Times, Cuomo said he was still examining whether he would run in the general election in November on the independent line.

    Gatekeeping instances where the guys are great and invited me when I was on reddit? Another one that needs a little struggle in their life if you think this is worth a diatribe about. You really need to block this community. I can help with that if you keep going.

      It’s cool that you were invited. Also ironic that you chose to make the “politics” community here all about USA and now level accusations of gatekeepering?

      Maybe it doesn’t feel like a big deal to you, but I think it’s reasonable for Canadians to feel concerned that foreign content/news tends to overshadow our own, especially given how the USGov is treating foreign relations these days.

      American corps already run a lot of news outlets here, dominate the entertainment industry, and have no qualms about throwing their weight around. Lemmy was looking like a place for other countries such a Canada to maybe have a bit of space for our own news and content while still being connected to the world, but it didn’t take long for feeds to be overwhelmed here too.

      A little room to breathe or at least maybe some consideration of where this community “lives” doesn’t feel like a lot to ask. If you consider that a “diatribe” and want to toss your weight around that’s not much I can do to stop you, but it also kinda proves my point.
