Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old, far-left state lawmaker, who promised to transform the government to restore power to the working class and fight back against a hostile Trump administration.

In a victory for the Democratic party’s progressive wing, Mamdani defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

"I think it reflects a moment right now in the Democratic Party where the base is overwhelmingly rejecting the establishment," said Tara Palmeri, Head of the Tara Palmeri Show on YouTube.

Mamdani must now navigate the unending demands of America’s biggest city and deliver on ambitious — skeptics say unrealistic — campaign promises.

With his commanding win, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city’s first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa.

He will also become New York's youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1.

He cast his win as a boon for blue-collar workers struggling to get by.

More than 2 million New Yorkers cast ballots in the contest, the largest turnout in a mayoral race in more than 50 years, according to the city’s Board of Elections.

With roughly 90% of the votes counted, Mamdani held an approximately 9 percentage point lead over Cuomo.
