Mamdani certainly takes the New York City mayor’s job with a deal of pressure on his shoulders, not least from Washington and current POTUS Donald Trump.
Trump and Mamdani clashed repeatedly during the mayoral election, with the latter taking aim at the president in his victory speech.
“If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him,” the 34-year-old said.
“This is not only how we stop Trump. It’s how we stop the next one. So Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: ‘Turn the volume up’.”
Trump took to Truth Social hours after the results, writing: “…AND SO IT BEGINS!”
Do you think Mamdani will do a good job as Mayor of New York? Let us know in the comments box.
