US EditionHannity: Friends ‘Officially Depressed and Scared’ After Mamdani Win
Mamdani aims to reform public safety with a new department to handle violence prevention and mental health, amid opposition from the NYPD and its union representing 50,000 members.
- On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani, mayor-elect and Queens lawmaker, won the New York City mayoral election, becoming the city's first Muslim mayor and first born in Africa at age 34.
- Campaigning on both housing and safety, Zohran Mamdani, mayor-elect, proposed free child care, free buses, a rent freeze funded by higher taxes, strengthened civilian oversight, kept Jessica Tisch, and created a Department of Community Safety.
- The Department of Community Safety would deploy non-police personnel for violence prevention, crisis response, and mental-health work, while the NYPD responds to roughly 180,000 emotionally disturbed person calls annually, the union said.
- The NYPD and its union have already signaled skepticism about the plan's effects on workload, and rank-and-file resistance could slow reforms, the city's influential police union representing 50,000 officers warned.
- The Mamdani administration must pick leadership and staff for the new agency and settle its ties to the NYPD, while Mamdani pledged to make Civilian Complaint Review Board decisions binding despite Commissioner Jessica Tisch's current overruling power.

Zohran Mamdani was the right amount of online
Zohran Mamdani owes his win as New York City mayor substantially to his internet presence. Mamdani - as numerous writers have outlined - is good on social video. He picked a message, stuck to it, and adapted that platform to snappy soundbites across multiple mediums. But Mamdani's best trait as an online communicator wasn't knowing how to use the internet. It was understanding when not to use it. In an era of terminally synthetic politics, New Y…
