For Many South Asian and Muslim New Yorkers, Mamdani’s Political Upset Gives Them Hope

NEW YORK CITY, JUN 27 – Muslim American lawmakers denounce bipartisan Islamophobic attacks against Zohran Mamdani, who has received multiple death threats amid false claims and racist rhetoric, officials said.

  • Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-identified Democratic Socialist, declared victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary on June 25, 2025, in New York.
  • His upset followed a campaign focused on addressing economic challenges, including housing affordability, through proposals like tax hikes on corporations and city-run food stores.
  • Mamdani's victory triggered racist and Islamophobic attacks from political opponents and right-wing figures, who accused him of supporting terrorism and promoted anti-Muslim tropes.
  • Several Muslim members of Congress condemned these attacks as "vile, anti-Muslim, and racist smears," while supporters highlighted Mamdani's broad coalition and focus on economic justice.
  • This win represents a major change in New York's political direction and indicates growing backing for progressive initiatives amid ongoing racial and religious challenges.
