London mayor Sadiq Khan congratulated Zohran Mamdani on becoming New York City’s new mayor, calling his win a victory for “hope.” In a post on X, Khan wrote that New Yorkers had chosen “between hope and fear,” a remark seen as a subtle dig at US President Donald Trump. Both Khan and Mamdani, who are Muslim and immigrants, have faced criticism from Trump in the past. In his victory speech, Mamdani said New York would “remain a city built by immigrants.” He added that the cheers of his supporters should be “loud enough for Trump to hear.” (PC: X)
