The mayor-elect built his campaign around rent affordability. But the same issue applies across the country, according to experts — and the many people struggling to pay their rent each month.

NEW YORK (AP) — When he announced his run for mayor last October, Zohran Mamdani was a state lawmaker unknown to most New York City residents. But that was before the 34-year-old democratic socialist crashed the national political scene with a stunning upset over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in June’s Democratic primary.

Zohran Mamdani has never said he seeks to implement Shariah in New York City, or anywhere in the U.S. An expert told PolitiFact that Mamdani’s support for gay rights and decriminalizing sex work are the "antithesis" of Shariah.

After the ADL announced its scrutiny of Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect told reporters, "I take the issue of antisemitism incredibly seriously."

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is using Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory to recruit police officers to leave the New York Police Department.

After Zohran Mamdani successfully completed his historic bid for mayor of the country's largest city on Tuesday night, he was joined onstage by his wife Rama Duwaji. In his speech, Mamdani thanked Duwaji, saying, "There is no one I would rather have by my side in this moment and in every moment."

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that any Jewish person who votes for Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, is "stupid." “Any Jewish person that votes for Zohran Mamdani, a proven and self professed JEW HATER, is a stupid person!!!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

The ADL’s new “Mamdani Monitor" targets Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani over antisemitism concerns, but some Jewish groups say the move is unfair.

Two people are hugging. Another woman is soft smiling. And in the intimate pictures taken by Sinna Nasseri from Election Day, Duwaji is making her own gesture, a symbolic nod to her approach as a political spouse.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani made a triumphant trip to Puerto Rico on Thursday for an annual summit that brings New York politicians and lobbyists to sunny San Juan for strategy meetings,
