One year after a Republican sweep, a Democratic Socialist, Zohran Mamdani, 34, achieved a stunning victory in New York City’s mayoral election, defying establishment candidates. His win signifies a significant shift in the political landscape. This result contrasts sharply with the previous year’s national election, which saw Donald Trump secure victories in swing states and a Republican majority in Congress. The New York City election also saw the highest voter turnout in over 50 years, indicating renewed civic engagement and a potential turning point in American politics. Mamdani unveiled his transition team this past Wednesday.
