If Zohran Mamdani wins Tuesday’s election for New York City mayor, becoming the city’s first Muslim leader and its youngest in a century, his wife too would be positioned to make and shape history. Rama Duwaji would be the first member of Generation Z to serve as New York City’s first lady,

Democrats have grown negative on capitalism and positive on socialism, while Mamdani has quickly become a well-known name in national politics.

The front-runner to become New York City’s mayor has deployed the language of religion to appeal to working class voters. Some experts say the Democratic Party should pay attention.

Mamdani, the Democratic nominee and favorite to be elected this week as mayor of New York City, is opposed to Israel’s government and existence as a Jewish state and subscribes to democratic socialist politics that are anathema to the RJC’s values.

Donald Trump was asked about comparisons between him and Zohran Mamdani, to which he replied: “Well, I think I'm a much better looking person”.

Early voting has appeared to skew towards older voters and Andrew Cuomo has gained in the NYC mayoral polls, making youth turnout key for Mamdani.

In the 30-minute phone call, first reported by The New York Times, Obama said he was invested in Mamdani's success and the two discussed the challenges of staffing a new administration and accomplishing Mamdani's campaign promises.
