Witness history in the making as the New York Times presses roll out front pages announcing Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory as New York City’s next mayor. At a sprawling printing press in Queens, massive machines etched Mamdani’s photo and victory headline into aluminum plates, inked, and churned out thousands of copies before trucks carried them to early morning deliveries across the city. Mamdani, 34, a Democratic socialist, has risen from an anonymous state lawmaker to one of the nation’s most visible political figures, shocking New Yorkers and setting a new chapter in city politics. This behind-the-scenes glimpse at the presses shows how democracy meets machinery, turning votes into headlines, and capturing the excitement of a city waking up to a new era of leadership.
