Zohran Mamdani and Donald Trump are the two most prominent populist politicians in America. They grew up on two sides of elite New York City society.

New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani pulled off a win, but what challenges could he face once in office?

Jared Walczak, vice president of state projects at the non-partisan Tax Foundation, voiced opposition to Mamdani's proposed tax hike, saying the policy risks a gradual erosion in the high-earner tax base and revenue losses that would accumulate over time.

For decades, New York has catered to its financial elite, often shaping policy to retain and attract them. Mamdani's plan challenges that long-standing dynamic and asks whether a different balance is possible. One where wealthy residents contribute more so the city can invest in services that benefit everyone else.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced Wednesday that Jessica Tisch accepted his offer to stay at the helm of the nation’s largest police force.

Thomas Homan said that additional federal agents would descend on the city if it did not help with President Trump’s deportation campaign.

White House border czar Tom Homan said he plans to ramp up federal immigration enforcement efforts in New York City, a month after US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents carried out a high-profile raid targeting Manhattan street vendors.

Oscar winner Jon Voight releases a video warning against NYC's new mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, calling for his removal in an explosive political message.
