Zohran Mamdani's win in the democratic primaries has shocked the United States, as his momentum continues to remain unmatched, forcing his rival, Andrew Cuomo, to concede while the final results are still pending, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist recognized for his strong criticism of the Israeli occupation and his push for economic justice reforms, won 44% of votes in the race against Cuomo’s 36%, the Associated Press reported.

Mamdani's rapid political rise sent shockwaves through the establishment of the world's financial capital as he proposed ambitious policies, including wealth taxes on millionaires and corporations to fund sweeping social programs such as free public transportation, universal childcare subsidies, and government-imposed rent stabilization measures.

Mamdani secures NYC mayor nomination, Trump threatens to 'arrest him'

Real-estate stocks tumbled, billionaires dialed their estate lawyers, and Wall Street traders priced options on backup plans, as the incumbent Eric Adams, now weighed down by scandals and deserted by big-money donors, faced growing uncertainty.

Mamdani's win reflects a global shift

Mamdani's rise follows a pattern seen with progressive leaders in Boston, Chicago, and Cleveland, suggesting that Democrats are not merely fragmenting but actively exploring the outcomes when activist-driven politics takes hold at the city level.

This reflects a global trend of disillusioned voters rejecting traditional politics and embracing anti-establishment figures, seen in countries ranging from Romania to Argentina, Bloomberg stated.

Bloomberg emphasized that New York is on the verge of electing its first Muslim mayor and its youngest leader in over a hundred years, placing the city at the center of a battle over its future direction and control of this influential global hub.
