Zohran Mamdani’s first full day as NYC mayor: subway rides, new offices and backlash from Israel
Zohran Mamdani revoked key executive orders and launched a mass engagement office on his first day, following a symbolic subway commute to highlight affordable housing priorities.
- On Friday, Zohran Mamdani, Mayor of New York City, revoked Adams-era orders including two tied to Israel and kept the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism while announcing a mass engagement office.
- His subway ride signaled Mamdani's pledge for a government resembling residents, and he rushed Thursday to a Brooklyn tenants' union to vow action against an allegedly negligent landlord.
- His subway selfies and interactions included posing with riders and showing the New York Daily News, echoing a pattern set by Eric Adams, Bill de Blasio and Michael Bloomberg.
- Facing questions on Friday, Mamdani revoked orders related to Israel amid criticism from some Jewish groups and the Israeli government, which posted that Mamdani had `poured antisemitic gasoline on an open fire`.
- He also unveiled plans to create a mass engagement office and move into the mayor's official residence, Upper East Side, before his Queens apartment lease ends later this month.
