US EditionMamdani Names All-Female Transition Leadership, Taps Lina Khan as Co-Chair
- On Wednesday, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced an all-women transition team including former Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan and named Elana Leopold executive director.
- After campaigning on affordability measures, Mamdani said New Yorkers face twin crises of an authoritarian administration and an affordability crisis, promising free child care, bus service, and a Department of Community Safety.

- Mamdani's victory makes him New York City's first Muslim mayor and youngest in over a century, but observers question his ability to enact reforms given Governor Kathy Hochul's tax opposition and City Hall constraints.
