Young socialist Zohran Mamdani wins over New York with his promise of change in the face of Trump

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Like the new mayor, she is heir to a tradition rooted in the 1920s with socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs.
49% : It will be from January 1, the day the new mayor is sworn in, that we will be able to see whether those fears are well-founded or merely the ghosts stirred up by the city's established powers -- from big business owners to landlords, and from Wall Street sharks to pro-Israel activists and cultural elites -- to stop a candidate who proved unstoppable, especially, though not only, among young voters.
47% : Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for New York City mayor who has managed to embody in record time both the hope for change in Donald Trump's America and a sense of rebellion against the establishment of his own party, made history this Tuesday at the age of 34 by becoming the first socialist to govern the world capital of capitalism and the first Muslim mayor of the city of 9/11.
47% : Born in Kampala, Uganda, in 1991 to intellectual parents -- the Indian filmmaker Mira Nair and Columbia University scholar Mahmoud Mamdani -- the victory of New York's new mayor also represents the consolidation of an alternative, to the left of the Democratic Party, in the form of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
