US EditionAn Old Video of an Ashura Procession in Texas Is Falsely Shared as Being From New York After Zohran Mamdani’s Victory in the Mayoral Election
Zohran Mamdani, 34, won by over 10 points in poorer boroughs with rising housing, transport, and food costs, funded by proposed corporate and millionaire tax hikes.
- Last week, Zohran Mamdani, Mayor-elect, won New York City's mayoralty, defeating Andrew Cuomo, independent candidate, and becoming the youngest mayor in a century.
- Mamdani campaigned on progressive plans including rent freezes, public grocery stores, and fare-free buses, appealing as housing, transport and food costs rose over 55% in New York City.
- In precinct-level returns, about 62% of voters in precincts with majority public-transport commuters backed Zohran Mamdani, with over 10-point leads in Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx.
- Mamdani now oversees a city of 8.5 million residents with a $116 billion budget, facing threats from President Donald Trump to cut federal funding of $8.5 billion, or 7% of the budget.
- To pay for his agenda, Zohran Mamdani, Mayor-elect, proposes an 11.5% corporate rate and a 2% levy on incomes over $1 million, but New York Governor Kathy Hochul resists tax hikes.

mrc.orgTim Graham: Zohran Mamdani has the left giddy
Zohran Mamdani surged to an easy victory as the “democratic socialist” mayor of New York City, complete with media enthusiasm that carried echoes of silly Obama love songs. The badly named “mainstream media” earnestly promoted the most extreme candidate. After Mamdani won, New York Times media reporter Michael Grynbaum warned about the opposition of reprehensible right-wing media outlets. The New York Post puckishly called New York “The Red Appl…
It is inevitable that too much will be placed on Zohran Mamdani's head. The vacuum on the political left is so great that his victory will take up too much space for progressives outside of New York.
