US EditionNew York Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Rallies Voters with Support From Bernie Sanders and AOC
- On November 4, 2025, with the mayoral vote set to conclude, Zohran Mamdani, Democratic Socialist and Democratic nominee for New York mayor, upset the establishment by winning the Democratic primary and is the overwhelming favorite.
- Housing pressures in New York, with an average three-bedroom rent of 8,500, helped propel Mamdani’s rise, drawing on his eviction-defense work and Assembly service, he said, 'You have to speak in a language everyone can understand.'
- Mamdani proposes a 2% tax on those earning over $1 million, a $30 minimum wage, universal childcare, a rent freeze for about 2 million residents, and five city-owned grocery stores.
- His probable win sets the city up for conflict with federal and state officials, as Donald Trump has threatened to withhold funding and Governor Kathy Hochul opposes tax hikes.
- Controlling a $116 billion budget, the mayor's office shapes services and policy across the city, while Michael Bloomberg and Bill Ackman lead business opposition to Zohran Mamdani's agenda.
