New York City just entered a "New Era" as Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as the 112th Mayor at midnight on January 1, 2026. Making history as the city’s first Muslim and South Asian mayor, the 34-year-old democratic socialist chose the abandoned Old City Hall subway station for his private oath—a "Symbolic Artery" dedicated to the working class. Later, a public inauguration featured a "High-Fidelity Signal" from Bernie Sanders and AOC, cementing Mamdani’s "Sovereign Focus" on the NYC Cost-of-Living Crisis. His agenda? A total "Reality Audit" of affordability, including rent freezes and a $30 minimum wage by 2030, siphoning power back to everyday New Yorkers.
