Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assembly member, was elected to be the next mayor of New York after running a campaign that mobilized new and disaffected voters and expanded the city’s diverse electorate.

Zohran Mamdani, a once unheralded state lawmaker from Queens whose affordability platform and charisma fueled a meteoric political rise, was elected on Tuesday as the 111th mayor of New York, according to The Associated Press.
