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

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."

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.

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.
