Event Summary

Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as the new mayor of United States — New York City, making history as the first Muslim, South Asian, and African-born mayor. The 34-year-old Democrat took his oath on the Quran at an old City Hall subway station, with a larger public ceremony planned. His platform emphasizes affordability, including free childcare, fare-free buses, a rent freeze for one million households, and city-run grocery stores. Zohran Mamdani inherits a city recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, with crime rates down and tourism rebounding, but still facing high prices and rising rents. He will also navigate a complex relationship with President Donald Trump, who previously threatened to withhold federal funding but later met cordially with Zohran Mamdani.
