Zohran Mamdani has been sworn in as New York City's 112th mayor, making history as the first Muslim to lead the largest city in the U.S. In a modest ceremony beneath City Hall’s historic subway station, Mamdani took the oath of office with New York Attorney General Letitia James administering. His rise from a backbench lawmaker to mayor reflects a stunning political ascent, fueled by a focus on affordability, universal childcare, free bus service, and tenant protections. A larger public celebration will follow with political figures including Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in attendance.
