La histórica elección de Zohran Mamdani como el primer alcalde musulmán de la ciudad de Nueva York ha generado entusiasmo y esperanza entre los musulmanes estadounidenses.

Democrats have swept the first major elections of Donald Trump's second term, with the US president saying the ongoing government shutdown is a "big factor".

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.

Mamdani’s comments followed Trump's endorsement of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and threats to withhold federal funds from the nation's largest city.

Being mayor of New York City is often referred to as the second hardest job in the country, but the task may be even more complicated for Zohran Mamdani.

Wall Street braced for change with the election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani as New York City mayor on Tuesday, a win set to reverberate through the heart of global capitalism, with financiers worrying the city's competitiveness and business appeal could suffer.

Mamdani’s victory in New York offers “a beacon of hope” for embattled activists and others in Uganda. The lesson is that “we should allow young people the opportunity to shape, and participate in, politics in a meaningful way,” Kabushenga said.

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.
