Within hours of Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York’s first Muslim mayor, there were swift and harsh reactions from his Jewish critics.

Mayor-elect Mamdani's win in New York is cheered by his London counterpart and a former mentor in Uganda, but draws a warning from Israel's U.S. ambassador.

Zohran Mamdani has won a resounding victory in the New York mayoral election, heralding in a new era for the city as he promises to be “Trump’s worst nightmare”.

Zohran Mamdani wasted little time as mayor-elect of New York City before making clear that he sees part of his new role as standing up to the president of the United States, who had threatened not only to defund the city if he won but also to arrest and deport him.

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic front-runner in the New York City mayoral race, marched under the bridge’s arches with elected officials, holding a banner that said, “Our Time Is Now.”

Donald Trump has accused the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor of being a “Jew hater” and said any Jewish person who votes for him is “stupid.” The president wrote the post on Truth Social as millions of New Yorkers were heading to the polls on Election Day.
