🇺🇸 Zohran Mamdani Wins New York City Mayoral Election 📈

• Zohran Mamdani (34, Democrat) has won the New York City mayoral election, defeating independent candidate and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. • He becomes the youngest NYC Mayor in over a century and is the first South Asian and Muslim to lead the city. • Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, made affordability the central focus of his campaign, pledging to expand social programs funded by new taxes on high earners and corporations. • The victory, which followed an upset primary win over the summer, is viewed as a major moment for young voters and a key debate point for the future direction of the US Democratic Party. • The win drew criticism from US President Donald Trump, who threatened to withhold federal funds from New York, and Republican Speaker Mike Johnson, who called it a move towards a "radical, big-government socialist party."
