💨 Abstract

Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old Democratic socialist and practicing Shia Muslim, won the New York mayoral election on a platform of affordability and inclusion. He faced Islamophobic misinformation, including false claims that he supports Sharia law. Republican Representative Andy Ogles and former candidate Andrew Cuomo made inflammatory remarks, while Trump threatened to strip Mamdani’s citizenship.
