Wynn, a real estate developer and Las Vegas luxury casino mogul, is a prominent donor to the Republican Party and was the finance chair of the Republican National Convention (RNC) from 2017 to 2018 before he resigned following a Wall Street Journal report regarding sexual harassment allegations.
On Tuesday, voters elected Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, as the next mayor, according to network projections. He appeared in Queens earlier in the day to vote alongside his wife, Rama Duwaji.
Despite Trump's endorsement of Cuomo, Mamdani's victory drew over 2 million voters—the highest NYC mayoral turnout in three decades.
Zohran Mamdani, the millennial socialist whose unabashedly left-wing campaign for Mayor of New York City unnerved many national Democrats but emboldened others, prevailed Tuesday as expected at the ballot box, installing him as leader of the nation’s largest city and a potentially powerful figure within a party looking for its next act.
