Mamdani Sworn In as NYC Mayor: Hope, Skepticism, and the Road Ahead
Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as the first Muslim mayor of New York City in a private ceremony at the historic Old City Hall subway station. The 34-year-old Democrat, also the youngest mayor in generations, took the oath of office with a Quran, promising transformative change focused on affordability. Facing challenges such as high prices and political tensions, he will also navigate a relationship with Republican President Donald Trump. Mamdani’s agenda includes policies like free childcare and a rent freeze, as well as the need to address the city’s ongoing issues.
