Andrew Cuomo will not drop out of the New York City mayoral race by the Friday deadline to remove himself from the general election ballot, CNN has learned. That leaves in place contingency plans he had established before the Democratic primary to challenge Zohran Mamdani and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in November.

Zohran Mamdani has declared victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary after Andrew Cuomo conceded the race in a stunning upset.

Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani spoke after winning the Democratic primary for New York City Mayor last night. He will face former Democrat Mayor Eric Adams in the fall. ZOHRAN MAMDANI: We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford.
