- Earlier this week Zohran Kwame Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City, becoming its youngest mayor-elect in over a century and first Muslim mayor-elect.
- Mamdani's campaign relied on grassroots organising, with more than 100,000 volunteers including taxi drivers, students, tenants, aunties, vendors knocking on over 3 million doors.

- Wall Street voiced cautious support despite Mamdani’s pledge to tax salaries of more than $1 million, while commentators warned of retaliation from Donald Trump as part of Democrats' rebound this week.
