00:00Zoran Mamdani has made history, becoming New York City's first Muslim and first South Asian

00:05mayor-elect after a decisive victory in the city's election. But the celebration has been

00:10followed by sharp political backlash from Washington. Several Republican lawmakers,

00:16backed by former President Donald Trump, are questioning Mamdani's citizenship and have

00:20called for investigations into his naturalization process. Trump has also threatened to withhold

00:26federal funds from New York City, while Representative Andy Ogles accused Mamdani of hiding alleged ties

00:32to communism and terrorism, claims that have not been supported by evidence. Mamdani's supporters

00:38say the attacks reflect rising xenophobia in American politics, as the 34-year-old prepares

00:44to take office early next year.
