Zohran Mamdani wins New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, a new vote count confirms Tuesday .

The Associated Press called the race after the results of the city's ranked choice voting tabulation were released.

The 33-year-old democratic socialist will face a field that includes incumbent Mayor Eric Adams as well as independent candidate Jim Walden .

Cuomo ran a campaign centered on his extensive experience, casting himself as the only candidate capable of saving a city he said had spun out of control.

His campaign promised free city buses, free child care, a rent freeze for people living in rent-stabilized apartment, government-run grocery stores.

Critics have slammed his agenda as politically unrealistic.
