Zohran Mamdani has won the New York City mayoral election, becoming the city’s youngest and first Muslim mayor. The 33-year-old Democrat defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in a surprising victory. Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, campaigned on free childcare, affordable housing, and better public transport. He faces big challenges ahead, including funding his plans and working with business leaders he once criticized. President Trump has already clashed with him, warning of funding cuts. Mamdani’s win marks a major shift in city politics and a test for America’s progressive movement. (PC: BBC)
