New York City’s newly-elected mayor Zohran Mamdani steps into office as local film and TV production rebounds post-strikes with help from the state.

Mamdani’s speech at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens was to announce his transition team, but he also stressed accountability for the federal law enforcement agents carrying out President Trump’s draconian immigration policies, which have resulted in violent raids and abuses.

The New York Post is looking to capitalize on the energy surrounding Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral election Tuesday night with a collectible version of its front page.

Wall Street braced for change with the election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani as New York City mayor on Tuesday, a win set to reverberate through the heart of global capitalism, with financiers worrying the city's competitiveness and business appeal could suffer.

Murdoch-owned tabloid depicts Mamdani with hammer and sickle symbol as Trump threatens to withhold federal funding from the city.

Zohran Mamdani wasted little time as mayor-elect of New York City before making clear that he sees part of his new role as standing up to the president of the United States, who had threatened not only to defund the city if he won but also to arrest and deport him.

Mamdani faces challenges in implementing his ambitious agenda, including free childcare and city-run grocery stores.

As of 6 p.m., about 1.85 million people, including early and mail-in voters, had cast ballots in the hotly contested race among Zohran Mamdani, Andrew M. Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. Polls close at 9 p.m.
