US EditionZohran Mamdani inaugurated as 112th mayor of New York City
Zohran Mamdani, sworn in on his grandfather's Qurans, pledges to govern as a democratic socialist addressing affordability and inequality for New York City's nearly 8.5 million residents.
- Today in Lower Manhattan, Mamdani was sworn in as New York City's 112th mayor after a midnight private oath at the City Hall subway station and a public ceremony at City Hall where Sen. Bernie Sanders administered the oath.
- Mamdani ran on a progressive platform focused on easing the cost of living, while his campaign faced criticism from conservative critics and members of the city's Jewish community over past statements on Israel and policing.
- Taking the oath, Zohran Mamdani placed one hand on Qurans, paid the $9 fee to City Clerk Michael McSweeney, signed the city ledger, and declared, `Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously.`
- Tens of thousands of New Yorkers braved below‑freezing temperatures at City Hall, and a public block party along Broadway's Canyon of Heroes followed Mamdani's 25‑minute inaugural address, while Leila Bozorg, Deputy Mayor for Housing and Planning, pledged to prioritize housing affordability.
- If Mamdani succeeds, his leadership could shape Democratic Party fortunes in 2028 despite national scrutiny from Republicans and President Donald Trump, who said he would cut funding to New York.
