History has been made, in the big apple where Zohran Mamdani has been named mayor.

The newly elected leader of New York City ran a campaign like no other, promising things like free transit, $30/hour minimum wage and city-owned grocery stores.

Mamdani’s win is being seen as a total upset, and a slap in to the establishment, bumping out the likes of Andrew Cuomo not once, but twice who had to run as an independent, after losing the democratic primary, back in June

While many are celebrating his victory, there are just as many on the other side of the aisle condemning it.
