Zohran Mamdani has announced a team including former city and federal officials — all women — to steer his transition to New York City Hall. The new mayor-elect said Wednesday that he will “work every day to honor the trust that I now hold.” He vowed that his administration would be both compassionate and capable. The 34-year-old democratic socialist won Tuesday over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani now faces the task of following through on his ambitious affordability agenda while navigating the bureaucratic challenges of City Hall and a hostile Trump administration.
