Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old state lawmaker, who was set to become the city’s most liberal mayor in generations.

In a victory for the Democratic party’s progressive wing, Mamdani defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani must now navigate the unending demands of America’s biggest city and deliver on ambitious — skeptics say unrealistic — campaign promises.

With the victory, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city’s first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa. He will also become the city’s youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1.

    I agree that it’s plain to see, but you come across as a bit of an ass when you act that way and refuse to point to anything. Just copy paste one of the first paragraphs instead and shove it in their face.

      I left reddit because of the sort of person who demands a source for something bigoted that they know happened and that they know is bigoted, gets the source they asked for, knew all along that’s what you were talking about, and then pretends to have no idea why it was bigoted. You may have infinite patience for that sort of bad faith. I have none.
