Let us point out that the New York City Democratic establishment chose to bet all their chips on a nationally-disgraced former governor.

While Zohran Mamdani looks ahead to the general election, national Democrats search for lessons ahead of the midterms and Republicans see a new political target.

The city's specialized high schools are one of the lone bright spots of its struggling public school system.

Republicans gleefully goaded their Democratic counterparts over the New York City race, too. In Mamdani, they see a new target, and one they can effectively link to Democrats across the country.

And so, as it stands here at the end of June, New York City will consider three Democratic candidates to become the next mayor of New York City.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will stay on the New York City mayoral ballot in November on an independent line, a source close to the campaign confirmed.

The winner of the Democratic mayoral primary typically is the heavy favorite for the general election in overwhelmingly Democratic-leaning New York City.

The People’s Republic of New York City Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the Democratic mayoral primary signals the rise of leftwing economic populism.

The next mayor of America's biggest city will most likely be either a moderate ex-governor who left office in disgrace or a socialist with little experience.

For all their disagreements, sources on both leading New York City mayoral primary campaigns tell CNN their assessment going into Election Day is the same: jump ball.
