Zohran Mamdani will become the 111th mayor of New York City after soundly defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa. At 34, he’s the youngest mayor in more than a century, the first Muslim ever to lead the city and the first candidate to earn more than 1 million votes since John Lindsay in 1969. Mamdani’s meteoric rise marks a fascinating new chapter in New York’s political history.
Spectrum News NY1 political director Bob Hardt joined Errol to break down this historic race — from Mamdani’s commanding victory speech to the challenges awaiting him at City Hall. They also discussed why his campaign succeeded where others fell short, and who the real winners and losers of this election were beyond the mayoral candidates.
