New York City has elected black former policeman Eric Adams as mayor, making the Democrat the next leader of America's biggest city.

The result was called by Associated Press shortly after the polls closed at 9pm Eastern Time, with less than 30 per cent of the vote counted. Adams already had a 50 point lead, CNN reported.

The centrist Democrat trounced Republican rival and volunteer crime fighter Curtis Sliwa in the liberal-voting bastion to become just the second African American to lead the Big Apple.

Sliwa, who founded the vigilante group Guardian Angels, showed up to vote on Tuesday with his cat - one of 17 he owns.

He has made animal welfare a pillar of his campaign.

The cat was denied entry to the polling station, but a poll worker held the animal while Sliwa went inside.

Your City is dying, losing jobs, crime is out of control and you’re worried about animals? What a retard!

Didn’t think the Guardian Angels was a vigilante group. I always thought they worked with police.

Rats can rejoice in the cellars. The rodents, not the Democrats.

Usually the term “romp” is used with the term “gay.”

Democrat Alvin Bragg won the Manhattan DA race. He’ll be leading their investigation of Trump.

The most unhappy people have probably already voted with their feet and moved away (if they could).

“New York City gets every problem they consistently have because they ask for it....once again.”

Maybe it’s a nostalgia craze.

Nostalgia for 1977, that is.

Moron doesn’t know about all those animal welfare queens. Like the cat that has twenty kittens and collects a check for each one.

I didn’t think Curtis had much of a chance. He’s not a Dimmocommie and he believes in law and order. The angle of the slide into the cesspool has just increased. NYC goin’ DOWN!
