Zohran Mamdani is a New York State Assembly member who has announced his candidacy for Mayor of New York City. However, as of now, he has not defeated Andrew Cuomo to become the Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor. Andrew Cuomo, the former Governor of New York, has not been running for Mayor of NYC in the recent mayoral race. The Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor is typically decided through a primary election, and as of the latest information available, neither Zohran Mamdani has won the nomination nor has Cuomo contested for the position. Therefore, the claim that Mamdani defeated Cuomo to become the Democratic nominee is false.
