Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani quoted former South African President and activist Nelson Mandela as he delivered his victory speech.

“Tonight we made history,” Mamdani told supporters at his rooftop victory party in Long Island City after midnight. “In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘It always seems impossible until it is done.’ My friends, we have done it. I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City. “

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo may still be on your ballot this upcoming November.

While the governor conceded to socialist dark-horse candidate Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday night, Cuomo already secured a second independent "Fight and Deliver" ballot line last month.

But the bid would be increasingly difficult for Cuomo to win with a potentially five-way general election scenario that would also pit him against independent Mayor Eric Adams, who shares many of the same core voters.

Cuomo rep Richard Azzopardi told The Post that the former governor is very much keeping options open to run in the general.

“I called Assemblyman Mamdani to congratulate him on tonight‘s victory. I also thank my team, which did a great job during this campaign. I want to look at all the numbers as they come in and analyze the rank choice voting. I will then consult with my colleagues on what is the best path for me to help the City of New York, as I have already qualified to run for mayor on an independent line in November," Cuomo said in a written statement.

Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine has nabbed the nomination for New York City Comptroller.

Levine managed to fend off Councilman Justin Brannan's bid to be the Democratic candidate to be the city's fiscal watchdog.

Levine walked away with 48% of the vote while Brannan only managed to get 34%, with more than 93% of polling stations reporting.

The Manhattan pol had been the frontrunner over Brannan (Brooklyn) in numerous polls, but each came with a large number of undecideds.

The two were largely similar on the political spectrum. However, they pitched themselves to voters as just different approaches. Brannan angled to be a brash outer-borough fighter while Levine came in as an even-keeled, establishment official.

Brannan, who currently serves as the council's finance chair and is term-limited, was forced to court the left, nabbing endorsements from the likes of Bernie Sanders, and tried to ride the hype of mayoral hopeful and socialist Zohran Mamdani.

Levine had boxed Brannan out from the Democratic establishment, garnering a slew of party endorsements.

The citywide spot will be vacant at the end of the year, with Brad Lander giving up a shot at reelection by making a run at the Democratic nomination for mayor. 

Andrew Cuomo told supporters on Tuesday it's "not our night" as early first-round results showed Zohran Mamdani with a commanding lead.

“Tonight was not our night, tonight, it was Assemblyman Mamdani’s night,” Cuomo said, adding he called Mamdani to congratulate him.

Cuomo also kept the door open to pursue an independent run.

“We’re going to take a look, we’re going to make some decisions," he said.

Andrew Cuomo's comeback tour seemed to come to a screeching halt Tuesday night — with the apparently shell-shocked ex-gov issuing a stunning concession speech.

"I want to applaud the assemblyman for a really smart and good and impactful campaign, Cuomo said of Zohran Mamdani. "Tonight is his night.

"He deserved it. He won," Cuomo added in a unexpected concession from his watch party in Manhattan.

Cuomo also signaled that he may not be fully behind his independent bid in the November general election.

"The challenges we face are real and they deserve real consideration and I want to give some thought about the best way to help address them, the best way to help the party, but most of all, the best way to help the city," Cuomo said.

"That's what we'll be thinking about as we go forward. I'll be looking at that."

Cuomo added, "Again, I want to applaud the assemblyman for a really smart and good and impactful campaign"

Insiders in incumbent Mayor Eric Adams' camp were ecstatic Tuesday night as the votes rolled in for socialist hopeful Zohran Mamdani.

One insider said they felt "very good" about Adams chances to retake City Hall for his independent bid come the general election.

The task is still a steep uphill climb for Adams, who will lose the votes that easily come with the Democratic Party line on the November general election ballot.

Hizzoner, though, is trying to create a bipartisan coalition of influential New Yorkers across the spectrum who fear a far-left DSA member running the city.

"It will have to be a perfect effort," another source close to Adams said. "And Cuomo will have to bow out."

Another source just responded "ride sally ride" when asked if the mayor welcomed the results.

He tried his hardest. 

Disgraced former lawmaker and amateur photographer Anthony Weiner failed his longshot comeback bid to represent an east side based city council district being vacated by term-limited Carlina Rivera. 

Weiner, the 60-year-old scandal-scarred Congressman, placed in fourth out of a crowd of five candidates and only scored 10.51% of the vote according to the latest Board of Election results.

Harvey Epstein ended up clinching the nomination with over 39% of the vote and will end up facing Republican challenger Jason Murillo in November.
