National figures are competing in different ways to make Mamdani a Democratic symbol amid a consequential next chapter of his rise: running New York City.

Entering the mayoral race with under 1% support, Zohran Mamdani's prospects of winning initially seemed unlikely. Here are some of the ways he turned the race around.

Fresh off the back of his election victory, the Democratic socialist wasted no time in vowing to follow through on his bold and unabashedly progressive plans.

Zohran Mamdani is following in the footsteps of another mayor of a global city with an outsize reputation for a diverse economic and cultural life.

In a new ad targeting vulnerable congressional Democrats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) argued the Democrat Party has fully embraced socialism in the wake of the “radical left earthquake” that was Mamdani’s electoral victory in New York City.

Ex-Gov Andrew Cuomo told The Post he believes the Democratic Party is “headed down a dangerous road,” in his first public sighting since losing to lefty mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani will be New York City's youngest mayor in over a century, exposing a deep generational divide within the Democratic Party ahead of the midterms.
