Reports Claim NYC Democrats Pick ‘Grok’ as 2025 Mayoral Nominee

Several social-media posts late Tuesday said the New York City Democratic Party has selected a figure referred to as “Grok” as its nominee in the 2025 mayoral race. The posts, which surfaced around 10 p.m. in New York, uniformly state that Grok won the party’s nomination but do not provide vote totals, convention details or official confirmation from party officials. Bloomberg was unable to immediately verify the reports. The city’s Board of Elections and the Democratic Party had not issued statements by early Wednesday.
