Zoran Mamdani, an opponent of Trump, has been elected mayor of New York! He is an Indian-American! The highlights on the afternoon of November 5,

Opponent of Trump elected mayor of New York, New York City has a new mayor. There has been a major change in New York politics. Zoran Mamdani, 34 years old, is a democratic socialist and an open opponent of Trump. He won the mayoral election. He defeated Andrew Cuomo, an independent candidate supported by Trump, which dealt a heavy blow to Trump's influence in America's largest city.

Who is Mamdani? He was born into an Indian family in Uganda, migrated to South Africa, and then moved to the United States, only obtaining U.S. citizenship in 2018. In 2020, he was elected as a state legislator in New York; in 2024, he announced his candidacy for mayor. At that time, many people thought he had little chance of winning. Now, he has become the first Muslim mayor in the history of New York City. Mamdani is controversial for his support of Palestine and his sharp words toward political opponents. He advocates increasing taxes on the wealthy and raising the minimum wage by 2030. His campaign focused mainly on affordable housing issues, challenging the status quo: rent control, free public transportation, and free childcare services.

He will be the first Muslim mayor in the history of New York City, the first South Asian mayor, and also the youngest mayor in over a century.

This democratic socialist defeated Andrew Cuomo by a landslide, winning the highest voter turnout in decades.

Overall (personal opinion), his election shows that there is very strong opposition to Trump within the United States! I am now wondering how long Trump can continue to hold the presidency?

Trump personally tried to stop a mayoral campaign in New York City but failed? Trump's tariff bill is about to be rejected again!

The U.S. government is still shut down. I'm wondering how long Trump can stay in the presidential seat? Will he be forced out earlier?
