Zohran Mamdani becomes first Muslim mayor of New York City
Jehan Alfarra
During the New York City Democratic mayoral debate in June, moderator David Usheryasked asked the candidates which foreign country they plan on visiting first if they become mayor of NYC. Several candidates — Andrew Cuomo, Adrienne Adams, and Whitney Tilson — responded that they would visit Israel on behalf of the city if elected.
Zohran Mamdani, who has now won the NYC mayoral elections, stated that he would focus on New York City rather than venturing out of the country. Melissa Russo, another one of the moderators, pressed Mamdani on whether he would “visit Israel” if he becomes mayor. “As the mayor, I will be standing up for Jewish New Yorkers, and I will be meeting them wherever they are across the five boroughs. Whether that’s in their synagogues and temples or at their homes or at the subway platform,” he responded.
