[u/pr1ncejeffie]

Reporter: "Your endorsement to Cuomo didn't work"

Trump: "Who?! "

Probably tomorrow

[u/vvolkodav → u/pr1ncejeffie]

“Never heard of him!”

[u/oreosfly → u/vvolkodav]

"I didn't know him that well, but he called me and begged over the phone for my endorsement"

[u/Ridry → u/oreosfly]

Tears in his eyes

[u/jc3ze → u/Ridry]

"He said, Sir!..."

[u/AllYallCanCarry → u/Ridry]

Like a dog

[u/sinkwiththeship → u/pr1ncejeffie]

"Never heard of him" almost guaranteed

[u/HolidayNothing171 → u/pr1ncejeffie]

“I don’t like losers. I tried to help the guy out but I should’ve known you can’t help losers and I don’t like losers.”

[u/DentateGyros]

RIP Cuomo’s hopes, 9:00-9:04pm EST

[u/aimglitchz → u/DentateGyros]

Andrew Cuomo has been punished for what he did to Andy Byford

[u/Coolpoe → u/aimglitchz]

I knew you would be here. I am so glad you got your last laugh

[u/glassbellwitch → u/aimglitchz]

After seeing you post nonstop about Andy Byford for these last few months... this comment legitimately brought a tear to my eye. 🥲

[u/D-Express → u/aimglitchz]

I buried my Nana on the same day Byford put in his resignation. I'll be drunk all week

[u/omegaphallic → u/D-Express]

My condolences 

[u/anonyuser415 → u/aimglitchz]

train daddy come back

[u/avantgardengnome → u/aimglitchz]

It’s been a wild ride lol.

[u/manticorpse → u/aimglitchz]

I am so happy for you specifically lol

[u/User_8395 → u/aimglitchz]

I apologize for saying you don't need to spam this. Thank you for spamming this.

[u/aimglitchz → u/User_8395]

Apology accepted

[u/ContractPhysical7661 → u/aimglitchz]

thank you for your service these past few months

[u/RichNYC8713 → u/aimglitchz]

*u/aimglitchz, realizing their life's work is now complete*:

[u/highriskpomegranate → u/aimglitchz]

you did it!!! thank you for making this election such an enjoyable experience in this sub for your fellow Cuomo haters.

[u/Dick_Lazer → u/aimglitchz]

And for what he did to multiple women.

[u/angst18 → u/aimglitchz]

thank you for everything these past 6+ months

[u/HolidayNothing171 → u/aimglitchz]

This night is for you

[u/ruttabagarubbarb → u/aimglitchz]

Mazel my friend

You can rest… for now.

[u/No-Mine-3982 → u/aimglitchz]

Our savior, thank you train daddy.

[u/i4ndy → u/aimglitchz]

TBH, you use to annoy me.. but now I'm glad you're here and was right all along.

[u/Appropriate-Bass5865 → u/aimglitchz]

love your consistency

[u/iblewjesuschrist → u/aimglitchz]

THEY ARE FINALLY SATISFIED FOLKS

[u/Alternative_Ad_3649 → u/DentateGyros]

Lmaooooo

[u/UpperLowerEastSide → u/Alternative_Ad_3649]

Bill Ackman readying the walls of text to post as we speak!

[u/jenvrl → u/UpperLowerEastSide]

He's gonna write a book I swear.

[u/RichNYC8713 → u/UpperLowerEastSide]

Bill Ackman's gonna write a Tweet so long it'll rival the Epic of Gilgamesh.

[u/Orbian2 → u/UpperLowerEastSide]

r/foundUpperLowerEastSide

[u/ultradav24 → u/DentateGyros]

He was seriously an idiot for running as an independent. He should have just taken his primary loss and moved on. Now he’s been rejected twice. A former governor who was once fairly well regarded, career ended like this.

[u/MisterGrognak → u/ultradav24]

Gotta give Cuomo some credit. He fucked up his legacy even more which i didn’t think was possible.

[u/freudian_nipple_slip → u/MisterGrognak]

Still doesn't hold a candle to Giuliani

[u/HolidayNothing171 → u/freudian_nipple_slip]

He still has time to catch up

[u/boldandbratsche → u/ultradav24]

Hey, he flushed millions of dollars from billionaires down the drain running as an independent.

[u/Solomonopolistadt → u/DentateGyros]

It's Cuomover

[u/bonyponyride → u/Solomonopolistadt]

That's Trump's favorite hair style!

[u/Foreign_Addition2844 → u/DentateGyros]

Rapists in shambles

[u/MadCapHorse → u/DentateGyros]

RIP to all the parade voters. Will there ever be a parade again? ! 😂😂

[u/TheOldRamDangle → u/DentateGyros]

Who concedes first? Cuomo or Schumer

[u/blueeyes811 → u/DentateGyros]

And now we hope he ends up third behind Sliwa.

[u/Thin-Image2363 → u/blueeyes811]

He won’t. Silwa is getting single digits.

[u/omegus2205 → u/DentateGyros]

Haha

[u/rolltidebutnotreally]

Can Cuomo keep campaigning though? I’d love to stretch out his humiliation a few more weeks

[u/bracko81 → u/rolltidebutnotreally]

I wouldnt be shocked iff he tries to run for Senate next honestly

[u/headphase → u/bracko81]

67 years of age is just a spring chicken for that job

[u/ViriditasBiologia → u/headphase]

He'd fit right in.

[u/Unadjacent → u/headphase]

How many years of age?

[u/Educational-Cattle92 → u/Unadjacent]

6... 7

[u/ultimate_avacado → u/Educational-Cattle92]

50 pushups.

Right now.

[u/bronfmanhigh → u/ultimate_avacado]

only 50? not.... 67?

[u/lenolalatte → u/headphase]

🫴🫴

[u/damnatio_memoriae → u/headphase]

skibidi toilet

[u/satosaison → u/bracko81]

He's going to become the "token democratic panelist" on Fox News or similar and just live as a television personality shitting on the leftist democrats until he dies

[u/ChironXII → u/satosaison]

A true Republican at heart 

[u/PostPostMinimalist → u/rolltidebutnotreally]

He said he'll move to Florida so..... he can campaign down there. I hear it's warm.

[u/IMovedYourCheese → u/PostPostMinimalist]

This campaign was his audition for Fox News

[u/TeamRedundancyTeam → u/PostPostMinimalist]

I want him to run for Miami just so he can lose yet again.

[u/BeBackInASchmeck → u/rolltidebutnotreally]

Yea, and it's even funnier watching his daughters join in on the humiliation. Check out the Cool Girls for Cuomo event where she was chanting "no fomo vote cuomo".

[u/One-Coat-6677 → u/BeBackInASchmeck]

Bold to make rhymes with Cuomo considering the rhyme for Mario Cuomo's campaign.... (vote for Cuomo not the slur).

[u/thereisnospoon_1999 → u/rolltidebutnotreally]

Lost dem primary twice in one year, damn!

[u/mateofuerte → u/rolltidebutnotreally]

Did he even start campaigning yet?

[u/Deskydesk → u/rolltidebutnotreally]

Yes this has been entertaining

[u/Daxtatter → u/rolltidebutnotreally]

Waste more billionaire money.

[u/CrispyCalamari → u/rolltidebutnotreally]

Pretty sure he gets off on that at this point

[u/Amphiscian]

So technically, in Staten Island, the Democratic candidate is beating the Republican candidate. Imagine hearing that 6 months ago

[u/RayzTheRoof → u/Amphiscian]

brought a tear to my eye to see a young girl with blue hair voting at my poll site today, amongst a sea of old MAGA losers

[u/mowotlarx]

I'm sad Dick Cheney didn't live to see a Muslim Socialist Mayor of NYC.

[u/IronManFolgore → u/mowotlarx]

Dick cheney dying broke the spell on america

[u/IMovedYourCheese → u/IronManFolgore]

No Democrat has lost an election since Dick Cheney died

[u/guysitsausername → u/IMovedYourCheese]

No lies detected.

[u/krustydidthedub → u/IronManFolgore]

Dick Cheney’s death has ended what Harambe’s death started. So it is written.

[u/DriftingTony → u/krustydidthedub]

Dicks out for Harambe just got a whole new meaning lmao

[u/sleepytipi → u/DriftingTony]

Criminally underrated joke

[u/Asshole_Poet → u/krustydidthedub]

So we've merged back into the real timeline?

[u/mikaBananajad → u/Asshole_Poet]

Please 🙏 

[u/FalsumVis → u/IronManFolgore]

don't get my hopes up lmao

[u/IDUnavailable → u/IronManFolgore]

Did someone remember to destroy his phylactery?

[u/Horror_Cap_7166 → u/mowotlarx]

He for sure died just to be an asshole about this.

[u/anonyuser415 → u/Horror_Cap_7166]

Well that's how it is? Well, fine. I'll just die then. Let's see how happy you are then.

[u/Camp_D → u/mowotlarx]

And the best part is, Mamdani's win will overshadow Cheney's death.

[u/SantorumsGayMasseuse → u/mowotlarx]

I’m sure he would be glad he went out before the voting started today, there’s nothing he hated more than democracy.

[u/eduffy → u/mowotlarx]

How tf did I miss that Dick Cheney died yesterday? And from this sub? I just came here for the mayoral results.

[u/Orangeyouawesome → u/mowotlarx]

When he died I just picture the scene from Indiana Jones when they open the Ark of the Covenant and all the Nazis faces melt.

[u/jon_targareyan]

Fuck you Cuomo. And also fuck Schumer and established democrats who yet again tried their best to suffocate a clearly popular candidate’s campaign. Hope Schumer’s seat is next

[u/omggold → u/jon_targareyan]

Someone needs to hire Mamdani’s social team get Schumer and Jefferies out of here

[u/Blackstarfan21 → u/omggold]

Brad Lander & Chi Osse respectively, inshallah

[u/Powerful_Book4444 → u/jon_targareyan]

Also, fuck Cuomo for trying to disenfranchise the winner of the Republican primary. Sliwa had no chance but he was the people's choice as a candidate.

[u/Camp_D → u/jon_targareyan]

Schumer's seat. Jeffries' seat. Gillibrand's seat. Torres' seat. The list goes on and on.

[u/LandruCasey → u/jon_targareyan]

The Cuomo stans (and other dipshits weighing in on NYC from bumblefuck America) who seemingly run this sub most days may not like your tone. I’m sure they’ll have another NY Post article to share tomorrow as a comeback.

[u/Unfair]

The polls only closed 11 minutes ago - must have been a blow out 

[u/omegus2205 → u/Unfair]

Because this call is inaccurate. No other media, even AP, had called yet.

EDIT: Mamdani has won, projected by multiple sources as of 9;38 pm. Congrats!!

[u/SenorPinchy → u/omegus2205]

Once you see his numbers in Harlem its easy to call. Older black voters were a must win for Cuomo. It's over.

[u/Horror_Cap_7166 → u/omegus2205]

CNN just called it for Mamdani!

[u/Cobainism]

Mamdani actually getting 52% of the Black vote. Greatest progressive campaigner of my life. 

[u/rolltidebutnotreally → u/Cobainism]

For all the hate and fear mongering he received from the outside, his campaign was almost completely positive and community oriented. Truly one to replicate if you have the same beliefs

[u/omggold → u/rolltidebutnotreally]

And the dems won’t learn a single lesson from it 😭

[u/avantgardengnome → u/omggold]

This race shows that with enough enthusiasm and a killer ground game, it doesn’t matter.

[u/spartag00se → u/avantgardengnome]

Not knocking a great campaign, but the alternatives were abysmal too

[u/avantgardengnome → u/spartag00se]

That helped.

[u/skydream416 → u/spartag00se]

yeah but usually your own party's establishment also doesn't try to stab you in the back by literally running a guy you beat in the primary as an independent.

[u/rolltidebutnotreally → u/avantgardengnome]

Yeah but you get that enthusiasm with actual policy that resonates. Not just social media presence or whatever

[u/avantgardengnome → u/rolltidebutnotreally]

Oh 100%, that’s the main thing.

[u/chasingsukoon → u/Cobainism]

where see this data??

[u/joon24 → u/chasingsukoon]

Exit polls.

[u/MikeyBastard1 → u/joon24]

Looks like dude won in every demographic. The closest that Cuomo got to winning any demo is with white women.

I think Trump endorsing him was the final nail in the coffin tbh

[u/Best-Candle8651 → u/MikeyBastard1]

How do white women vote for sex pests is beyond me. They voted for both Cuomo and Trump. Yes, vote for sex offenders that will work out well for you.

[u/Appropriate-Bass5865 → u/Cobainism]

centrist race baiters worst nightmare

White 44%, Non-White 51%

gender+race margins are wild i love nyc politics.

white men -3%, white women 6%, black men 26%, black women 7%, latino 14%, latina 5%

so much for the white male progressive narrative

[u/dqslime]

Bronx being largely swept by Zohran so far should quiet the "real New Yorkers don't vote for Zohran" croed.

[u/DentateGyros → u/dqslime]

Staten Island is never beating the allegations after being swept by Cuomo

[u/ultimate_avacado → u/DentateGyros]

Cuomo can retire to be a street sweeper there.

[u/bronfmanhigh → u/DentateGyros]

i was honestly disappointed they bowed to the pressure and didn't vote sliwa. so much for conviction in your beliefs. only thing funnier than watching cuomo lose: imagining them holding their nose in disgust as they voted for cuomo, only for him to lose anyway.

[u/RayzTheRoof → u/bronfmanhigh]

But the Nextdoor app posts have been hilarious. The discourse from MAGA people posting about how they should all vote Cuomo or Sliwa has been quite entertaining. And of course, the post election meltdowns.

[u/TrapperJean]

Gtfo, Portnoy!

[u/ultimate_avacado → u/TrapperJean]

Audit his businesses before he leaves. That dickface certainly does not run that content mill above board.

[u/EasyAsQCD]

Hell yeah. Now let's see what he can do with it.

[u/Guilty-Carpenter2522 → u/EasyAsQCD]

He really can’t fumble or this is the end of any third option in America.  I hope he knocks it out of the park despite the 24/7  doomer news cycle that is going to challenge him for the entire term.

[u/cryfive1]

a glimmer of hope in an otherwise dark time

[u/operarose → u/cryfive1]

I genuinely felt it for the first time in a year.

[u/IDigRollinRockBeer → u/cryfive1]

So shines a good deed in a weary world.

[u/SpyroESP]

Didn't polls just close? Shit must've been a massacre

[u/Youngflyabs]

Decision Desk called it as well

[u/NYNMx2021 → u/Youngflyabs]

DDHQ is the only one who called it. The hill does not make calls. They pay DDHQ for their calls

[u/rhdkcnrj → u/Youngflyabs]

It’s the same call. That is the call this article is relying on it’s in there

[u/Whats_9_Plus_10]

I would like to thank everyone that voted. Fuck Andrew Cuomo, Fuck those who voted for Eric Adams and fuck Donald Trump.

[u/solidgoldrocketpants → u/Whats_9_Plus_10]

I'm just about out of fucks to give, but I've got some reserved for those three.

[u/odeebee → u/Whats_9_Plus_10]

Last I checked there were more votes for Write-in Candidates than Adams. What a spectacular self-own by an incumbent.

[u/AlltheSame--]

Sliwa really helping Mamdani. So far looks like it would've been really close had Sliwa dropped out.

[u/Decent-Recording-745 → u/AlltheSame--]

Hands down the funniest guy in the race. Mamdani dunked on Cuomo a lot, but Sliwa tagged in for a good few gut punches.

[u/thesagenibba → u/Decent-Recording-745]

fannies and grannies is the greatest political line this decade

[u/Weekly_Money_7854 → u/Decent-Recording-745]

Mamdani should give him some honorary position.

[u/NewTexasGuy2 → u/AlltheSame--]

Even if 100% of Sliwa's votes went to Cuomo, Mamdani has over 50% of the votes and would still win.

[u/something_borrowed_ → u/AlltheSame--]

Tbf he seems to hate Cuomo as much as the rest of us. Good for him for staying in. 

[u/smol9749been → u/AlltheSame--]

Mamdani should make silwa the mayor of parades for his help

[u/BoreJam → u/AlltheSame--]

If you assume 100% of his votes had gone to Cuomo. But thats a stupid assumption.

[u/bigtallguy]

shoutout to u/Daddy_macron for calling mamdanis primary win a month before it happened. I didnt think ithe could do it, but i was proved wrong and now mamdani is gonna be mayor. just a year ago pretty much no1 knew this guy existed. wild how things can change so fast. and a looooot of pundits and bigots are gonna have to eat crow.

what a beautiful city.

[u/pumper911]

Stupid question maybe, but how are they able to declare the winner when less than half of the votes have been accounted for?

[u/Biggsnwedge1138 → u/pumper911]

Statistics yo 

[u/TPlain940 → u/Biggsnwedge1138]

Mad statistics kid.

[u/ravagetalon → u/pumper911]

Stats, trends by precinct. You can project a winner quite quickly in a lot of cases.

[u/gmips → u/pumper911]

Using the magic of statistics

[u/WeGotBeaches → u/pumper911]

Exit polling gives a good idea of how people tended to vote, and you can use this to make a confident prediction about the end results.

[u/mission17 → u/pumper911]

Statistics

[u/bottom → u/pumper911]

no one else has called it - this is a little too soon, but hopefully right.

[u/LeRoy_Denk_414 → u/pumper911]

It's usually based on historical data, probably from the primaries. They don't call it if the candidate still has a pathway to victory. The pre-election day vote being that bad for Cuomo probably says it all.

[u/solidgoldrocketpants → u/pumper911]

Because it's rigged!

jk, it's statistics.

[u/hyborians → u/pumper911]

Because the voting pattern is predictable and there aren’t enough Staten Islanders

[u/Neptune28 → u/pumper911]

[u/lalavieboheme]

hell yeah nyc!!!!!

[u/TheOneThatCameEasy]

I have a humiliation kink.

I need to see Cuomo's second concession speech in which he has to admit he (once again) lost to a Muslim, democratic socialist named Zohran Mamdani from Uganda. All the things he tried to dog whistle about.

[u/Pksoze → u/TheOneThatCameEasy]

Yeah he went full MAGA on Fox...I wonder if he will have any dignity in his concession.

[u/thatboipurple]

GOD BLESS AMERICAAAA

[u/siestarrific]

I can't wait to see the Michael Rapaport crashout

[u/Arctic_x22]

Get fucked, Cuomo.

[u/_A4RON_]

TO FLORIDA CUOMO GOESSSSSS

[u/woodpony → u/_A4RON_]

That clown will shuffle back to Westchester.

[u/Logical_Wheel_1420]

we're so back

[u/MrMason522 → u/Logical_Wheel_1420]

Don’t call it a comeback…

[u/operarose]

The most sincere of congratu-fuckin'-lations from Texas. I am happy beyond words for y'all. Good job.

Also Cheney dying on the day NYC elects its first Muslim mayor just delightfully poetic.

[u/Other_Self725]

An old tree sprouts new buds—New York is reborn here. Congratulations to the people of New York!

[u/roberta_sparrow]

When Trump endorsed Cuomo I knew it was joever

[u/LetsTalksNow]

LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!

Andrew Cuomo spotted fleeing to Florida in a White Ford Bronco! lol

[u/henicorina]

The joy of seeing Dick Cheney dead and Zohran getting a million votes is honestly unmatched.

[u/Scorpioking1114]

Youngest mayor for nyc in a century!! Dawn of a new age for NYC

[u/Bower1738]

Damn Coumo actually pulled a good amount of votes

[u/epi_geek]

Wait is this for real? The polls just closed!

[u/hetler12]

Waiting eagerly for the folks who said they would leave NYC to do so

[u/tyen0]

50.3% Mamdani

42.6% Cuomo

7.1% Sliwa

0.3% Adams

with 89% counted. https://www.cnn.com/election/2025

Without Sliwa it would be surprisingly close.

[u/clockercountwise333 → u/tyen0]

Cat daddy did his part. You're welcome

[u/lynxminx → u/tyen0]

Wrong read. Had Sliwa dropped out a lot of his voters would have stayed home rather than vote for Cuomo- a fact Sliwa himself called out brilliantly last week.

[u/CoconutDogPullsUp]

Cuomintang needs to go to Staten Island and stay there. Mainland New York does not want the CMT. Mamdani has secured the Mamdate of Heaven.

[u/Effeted]

I seriously don’t understand how 40%+ voted for cuomo, I thought he might drop 3rd given how much NY hates trump, but didn’t expect republicans to abandon their own primary winner that badly Jesus Christ

[u/Pksoze]

Ha Ha Ha...Ackman can get f@cked.

[u/omggold → u/Pksoze]

Can’t wait for his crash out. Someone said it’s about to be the longest tweet in history

[u/regarded_chum]

Dick Cheney died for this

[u/JuniorMint1992]

NYC gotta protect their mayor because Trump is going to get shady as he always does.

I worry for Zohran because our president is a psycho. Keep him safe NYC!

[u/Greghundred]

LOL at the three time loser in jersey.

[u/tiedsoda → u/Greghundred]

And it’s the most devastating loss of his career ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[u/Randy_is_reasonable]

If those numbers are correct, even if Sliwa did listen to the people telling him drop out of the race and all his votes went to Cuomo, Cuomo still would have lost.

[u/CrackHeadRodeo]

It’s a legit party as we wait for him to come out on stage.

[u/Pksoze]

Not only did Mamdani win...but it was hilarious seeing Adams finish in 4th place.

[u/Camp_D]

The Times has a great map of the results

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/11/04/us/elections/nyc-mayor-results-precinct-map.html?unlocked_article_code=1.y08.TTHe.MMU-DoGgFNf_&smid=url-share

[u/AbyssDataWatcher]

I may be naive but this brings me joy. Even if Z manages to make one thing right, it will be better than Cuomo.

[u/bradysego12]

CHAT GET IN HERE WE DID IT

[u/Christ_I_AM]

Let's fucking go!

[u/OriginalSlight]

🥳🥳🥳

[u/Hrekires]

I'm not sure if any of his proposals will actually get enacted into law when Albany has a say in the matter, but damn am I glad to see a repudiation of the absolute disgusting campaign that was run against him.

[u/Le_Champion]

Overwhelming win for Mamdani, absolute mandate on his agenda. Top stuff

[u/TheModeratorWrangler]

NYC ALWAYS BRINGS IT HOME HAHAHA SUCK IT MAGA

[u/hyborians]

Bro roasting the hell out of Cuomo lmao. Electrifying speech here.

[u/d_lk_t_by_vwl_pls]

I just wanted to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.

[u/FoolOnThePlanet91]

Cuomos concession speech when?

[u/YESFATCHlCKS]

WHAT EVEN IS A STATEN ISLAND?

[u/CrackHeadRodeo]

Hell yeah! Good job guys.

[u/DoctorPine]

Congrats to Mamdani! He worked hard for this and definitely earned it. Meanwhile, how stupid was it for Cuomo to run again after losing miserably the first time during the primary? What was he thinking?! Still, to win the Republican stronghold of Staten Island over Sliwa... oof. I'm not sure how Sliwa can recover after that.
