New York City — History has been made. Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman, has won the Democratic nomination for Mayor of New York City, marking a monumental moment as he becomes the first Muslim to hold this position.
“They said a grassroots movement couldn’t beat the billionaires,” Mamdani declared in his victory speech. “But tonight, we proved them wrong. And this is just the beginning.”
Mamdani’s rise reflects a growing wave of Muslim and South Asian representation across the United States. In another historic win, Ghazala Hashmi has been elected as Virginia’s next Lieutenant Governor, becoming the first Muslim woman to ever win a statewide race in the nation.
Together, their victories signal a powerful shift in American politics — one led by diversity, inclusion, and community-driven leadership.
