New York City started 2026 with a new mayor, as democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani made history when he was sworn in as the city's first Muslim, first South Asian and first African-born leader, as well as the youngest in over a century.

He took his oath using two Qur'ans, including one that belonged to his grandfather. Andrew Epstein, one of Mamdani's closest advisers, spoke with Democracy Now! about the significance of the private ceremony and how it connected the new mayor to the history of the city he now leads.
