New York City is so screwed.
Democrat voters in the blue city are choosing Zohran Mamdani to win their primary race for mayor. Because of their insane policy of ranked choice voting, the process won’t end tonight. Also, as other people drop off the ballot, Mamdani will likely gain more votes, putting him over the required 50 percent threshold.
If he gets the Democratic nomination, Mamdani is very likely to become mayor of New York City, meaning the Big Apple is doomed.

CNN reports:
Mamdani leads initial round of New York mayoral primary as CNN projects ranked-choice votes will decide race
New York state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani leads the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City, but CNN projects his initial support will remain below 50%, meaning the race will be decided by ranked-choice votes.
The 33-year-old democratic socialist is well-positioned to claim a remarkable primary win. Even as a winner won’t be known for at least another week, Mamdani’s strong performance will reverberate beyond America’s largest city, catapulting both Mamdani and his policy ideas into the national spotlight.
A three-term state assemblyman who represents parts of Queens, one the most diverse areas in the nation, Mamdani vaulted from being a virtual unknown with a mix of viral videos and proposals appealing to younger progressives. His detractors have argued his limited legislative experience, progressive policies and criticisms of Israel make him too extreme for the city.
Mamdani wants city-owned and run grocery stores.
Various newspapers warned voters not to pick him. Even a newspaper in the city of Chicago warned New York not to go down this road, but here we are.
Just under 90% of the expected total vote is in, and Zohran Mamdani owns a raw vote first-choice lead of 69,525 votes.
