Zohran Mamdani Officially Secures Nomination For New York City Mayor

The New York City Election board on Tuesday confirmed a stunning victory by mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary, clearing the way for the political upstart to be the party's nominee for the November mayoral election.

US President Donald Trump said that the New York City Democratic nominee for mayor is a "pure, true communist" and a "total nut job" and added that he will "have a lot of fun with him" if he is elected.

US President Donald Trump has threatened to cut federal funding for New York City if favoured mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani--a democratic socialist-- "doesn't behave himself", should he win the November 4 elections.

Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani said Sunday that billionaires shouldn't exist, stepping up his rhetoric in a network television interview against the wealthiest and most powerful New Yorkers.

Indian-origin candidate Zohran Mamdani and a Democratic socialist emerged with a commanding lead in the Democratic mayoral primary, over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who conceded late Tuesday.

Mamdani has humourously labelled himself as a "B-list rapper" and on his X account, which he used as a rapper, he promoted "Nani", a tribute to his grandmother, that debuted in April 2019.

Zohran Mamdani, an Indian origin socialite set to become the Democratic nominee in New York City's upcoming mayoral election, calls himself US President Donald Trump's "worst nightmare."

Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic primaryfor mayoral elections in New York City. On Tuesday, he defeated former New York governor Andrew Cuomo in arguably one of the biggest political upsets in recent times.

US Donald Trump has weighed in on the victory of Indian-origin leftist socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary election, calling him a "100 per cent communist lunatic".
