Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as New York City’s mayor in the first minutes of the New Year on Thursday at the historic City Hall subway station, with his wife Rama Duwaji standing by his side.
Mamdani, a democratic socialist who was elected last November, was a trailblazing candidate and is expected by many in the city of eight million – some with hope, some with trepidation – to be a disruptive mayor.
