Higher minimum wage for young workers, remote working and a 4-day workweek could get a spotlight thanks to New York’s first millennial Mayor

JERUSALEM (AP) — The election of Zohran Mamdani as New York City’s next mayor has sent a chill across Israel as people come to terms with the victory of a politician propelled by an outspoken pro-Palestinian message that is rare in U.S. politics.

Zohran Mamdani's historic New York City's mayoral race victory has sparked excitement and hope among many American Muslims

Zohran Mamdani will take charge just after midnight on Jan. 1, 2026, as required by city law. A swearing-in ceremony will follow soon after.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is in Puerto Rico this weekend for an annual summit that brings New York’s politicians and lobbyists to sunny San Juan for strategy meetings and workshops.

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."

Chief among the challenges Mamdani will face, New York insiders said, is President Donald Trump.

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.

Boca Raton officials want New Yorkers and their businesses after Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, won the New York City mayor's race.

A professor describes Mamdani as "one of us" while some young Ugandans take inspiration from the 34-year-old's victory.
