Mamdani Wins New York City Mayoral Race
Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City, becoming the first Muslim and person of South Asian descent — as well as the youngest in over a century — to hold the position.
The 34-year-old, Ugandan-born democratic socialist defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an Independent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in Tuesday's election, according to a race call by the Associated Press.
Mamdani's victory is a historic win for progressives, marking a significant milestone in his career as a state assemblymember representing Queens.
Mamdani will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.
