Election night took an awkward turn for NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo. The former CNN host and brother of disgraced former New York governor-turned-New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo was behind the desk as polling numbers came in and made it clear that Zohran Mamdani was going to become the next mayor of New York City.

The former governor, part of New York’s political firmament for nearly half a century, finished what may be his final campaign with a bruising loss to Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor’s race.

Before a dwindling and forlorn crowd, Andrew Cuomo conceded defeat in the New York City mayor’s race, but still somehow conceded little else.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo spoke to supporters after his apparent loss in his bid as an independent in the New York City mayoral race. He called his campaign "the right fight to wage."

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani faces former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral election amid threats of federal funding cuts from President Donald Trump.

Republicans like President Trump, Stephen Miller and Elon Musk endorsed him ahead of New York City’s mayoral election. Stephen Colbert referred to them as “everyone New Yorkers love.”

The president backed Cuomo, who is running as an independent against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, instead of Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.

Zohran Mamdani’s victory address incorporated many aspects of the stump speech he’s given during the course of his campaign. He took parting shots at former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He challenged President Trump.
