Who is Zohran Mamdani, the young Democrat Trump warned would turn New York City into a 'disaster', yet just made history?

Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old progressive, has made history as New York Citys first South Asian and Muslim Mayor. His victory marks a generational shift, with a strong focus on affordable housing, public transport, and tackling the rising cost of living. Mamdanis platform centres on supporting working-class New Yorkers, with promises of rent freezes, fare-free buses, and universal childcare, all funded through fair taxation.
