Zohran Mamdani Wins NYC Mayor's Race
Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, has been elected mayor of New York City, marking a historic moment as the city's first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage, and the first born in Africa.
Mamdani's victory is a significant win for the Democratic party's progressive wing, defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
As the city's most liberal mayor in generations, Mamdani will face the challenge of navigating the demands of America's biggest city and delivering on his ambitious campaign promises.
His election gives credence to Democrats who have urged the party to embrace more progressive candidates.
Mamdani's unlikely rise marks a new era for the city, with him set to become the city's youngest mayor in over a century.
