US EditionFormer New York Rep. Santos Says He's 'Out' After Zohran Mamdani Election Victory
Zohran Mamdani's win marks a generational shift as he mobilized young voters and earned praise from Obama and Biden for his moral leadership and party influence.
- On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani won New York City's mayoral election in a landslide, with Former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden praising his moral compass and influence.
- Mamdani, a dues-paying member of the Democratic Socialists of America, mobilized younger voters but faced criticism for inexperience at 34, which President Joe Biden addressed by citing his own early Senate win.
- President Joe Biden called Wednesday morning, praising Mamdani for spearheading `a new generation of leadership`, while former President Barack Obama told Mamdani `You got a good moral compass, and that's important` after a private call last weekend.
- These developments position Mamdani as the party regroups, with Obama and Biden praising him ahead of his Jan. 1 swearing-in as NYC's youngest mayor in over a century.
- As a democratic socialist, Mamdani has unnerved some moderate Democrats who fear his tax-the-rich agenda could benefit Republicans in next year's congressional midterms, and he previously criticized President Barack Obama and questioned Biden's leadership.
