Sen. Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat and one of the most powerful Jewish politicians in the United States, did not endorse Zohran Mamdani and would not say who he voted for in New York City’s mayoral election.

The rise of New York City’s mayor-elect comes at a complicated moment in the career of Senator Chuck Schumer, who is in danger of looking out of touch with the prevailing energy back home.

Zohran Mamdani stormed to victory in the New York City mayoral elections with a pledge to improve the quality of life for the city’s eight and half million residents.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday announced an all-female team of co-chairs for his transition team, including former Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan.

The 34-year-old state assemblyman from Queens has risen from obscurity to national prominence with a bold, left-wing platform.

Within hours of Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York’s first Muslim mayor, there were swift and harsh reactions from his Jewish critics.

National figures are competing in different ways to make Mamdani a Democratic symbol amid a consequential next chapter of his rise: running New York City.

Hours after Mamdani’s win, President Donald Trump issued a series of calls to action on Truth Social. “Pass Voter Reform, Voter ID, No Mail-In Ballots. Save our Supreme Court from ‘Packing,’ No Two State addition, etc. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!!!” he wrote Tuesday night.

After Zohran Mamdani successfully completed his historic bid for mayor of the country's largest city on Tuesday night, he was joined onstage by his wife Rama Duwaji. In his speech, Mamdani thanked Duwaji, saying, "There is no one I would rather have by my side in this moment and in every moment."

When Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor, he will immediately have to confront a host of issues that have little to do with “freezing the rent,” his main housing-related pledge.

Years ago, billionaire Peter Thiel said that high student debt and the lack of affordable housing were causing young Americans to lose faith.
