Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral race Nov. 4, 2025. He will take office Jan. 1, 2026. The win is a major victory for the progressive movement and adds to momentum after recent progressive wins in cities such as Seattle.

Mamdani, a state assemblymember, ran on affordability and housing and opposed former President Donald Trump's policies. He spoke with Govs. Josh Shapiro, J.B. Pritzker, and Wes Moore about coordinating responses to Trump.
