He’s the talk of the town today, and with good reason. Zohran Mamdani was yesterday confirmed as the next mayor of New York City, having won the 2025 election by a landslide.

Mamdani, the first Muslim mayor of New York City and the first of South Asian heritage, secured more votes than all other candidates – including the likes of Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa – combined.

Aged just 34, he’s set to be the youngest NYC mayor in over 100 years, but as recently as a year ago, people barely knew his name.

At his election night rally outside the Brooklyn Paramount, Mamdani delivered a message celebrating New York’s identity as a city of immigrants:

”New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, led by an immigrant.”

And he didn’t stop there. He wasted no time in calling out President Donald Trump. In front of a cheering crowd, he delivered four pointed words directly at the president:

”Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: turn the volume up!”
