Zohran Mamdani Sworn In As New York City Mayor: 'This Moment Demands A New Generation Of Leadership'

In a historic ceremony at the Old City Hall subway station, Zohran Mamdani has been sworn in as the 112th Mayor of New York City. The 34-year-old democratic socialist, son of filmmaker Mira Nair, took his oath on the Quran, becoming the first Muslim and first Africa-born leader of America’s largest city. The report details his upset victory over heavyweight Andrew Cuomo and his 'unapologetically progressive' platform, which includes freezing rent hikes, launching city-owned grocery stores, and making public transportation free. Mamdani, who criticized predecessor Eric Adams for sidelining the working class, was administered the oath by Attorney General Letitia James.
