Zorhan Momdani

politician

Zorhan Momdani is a rising political figure in the United States, known for his recent election as the mayor of New York City, where he identifies as a 'democratic socialist'. At just 34 years old, he secured a significant victory with 50.4% of the vote, marking a notable shift in the political landscape of a city often viewed as a bastion of capitalism. His campaign, which began from scratch, attracted over 100,000 volunteers and focused on progressive policies such as freezing rents, establishing public grocery stores, and providing free transportation. Momdani's election is seen as a response to the political climate under former President Trump, indicating a possible shift in public sentiment toward progressive governance.
