Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as New York City’s mayor on January 1, 2026, after a campaign focused on affordability and public services.

Lindsay, whose 1966–1973 tenure combined major liberal ambitions with political and economic vulnerabilities that later helped expose city programs to retrenchment.
