After Zohran Mamdani successfully completed his historic bid for mayor of the country's largest city on Tuesday night, he was joined onstage by his wife Rama Duwaji. In his speech, Mamdani thanked Duwaji, saying, "There is no one I would rather have by my side in this moment and in every moment."

Zohran Mamdani has been planning his mayoral transition for months and appears poised to hire veterans of city government to key posts in his administration.

The mayor-elect now has the challenge of running a complex bureaucracy while balancing a budget crunch, Trump’s ire and his supporters’ expectations.

By Siddharth Cavale and Waylon Cunningham NEW YORK (Reuters) -Representatives of New York City's bodegas, grocers and restaurants said on Wednesday they hope New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani spends less time going after President Donald Trump and focuses on his promises to make the city more affordable.

Zohran Mamdani’s victory as the city’s next mayor is a milestone for hundreds of thousands of residents who see one of their own atop the city’s political infrastructure.

Mamdani’s speech at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens was to announce his transition team, but he also stressed accountability for the federal law enforcement agents carrying out President Trump’s draconian immigration policies, which have resulted in violent raids and abuses.

"I know you're watching, turn the volume up," the 34-year-old socialist tells the president as he becomes the first Muslim mayor of New York City.

New York City mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani told MSNBC he supports BDS to pressure Israel's compliance with international law while promising to represent all New Yorkers as mayor.
