💨 Abstract

Zohran Mamdani, 34, became New York’s first Muslim and youngest mayor in over a century, winning with over a million votes. A Democratic Socialist, his policies—like rent freezes, free bus service, and universal childcare—resonated in expensive NYC. Republicans, including Sean Hannity and Donald Trump, criticized him as a "communist," while George Santos lashed out at fellow Republicans.
