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 victory as the city's first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage, and the first born in Africa.
Mamdani's win is a significant milestone for the Democratic party's progressive wing, as he defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
He will become the city's youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan.
Mamdani's unlikely rise supports the argument that the Democratic party should embrace more progressive, left-wing candidates.
