Amtsantritt von Mamdani: Eine neue Ăra fĂŒr New York?
„Wem gehört New York?“, fragt Zohran Mamdani in seiner Antrittsrede, in der der links-demokratische Politiker deutlich macht, dass er nicht vor hat, kleine Brötchen zu backen. Er wendet sich direkt an jene Kritiker, die ihm im Vorfeld zur MĂ€Ăigung rieten: „Beim Schreiben dieser Rede wurde mir gesagt, dies sei der Anlass, die Erwartungen herunterzuschrauben. Ich solle diese Gelegenheit nutzen, um die Menschen in New York dazu zu ermutigen, wenig zu verlangen und noch weniger zu erwarten. Das werde ich nicht tun. Die einzige Erwartung, die ich zurĂŒckschrauben möchte, ist die der geringen Erwartungen. Ab heute werden wir umfassend und kĂŒhn regieren.“

Election Day 2025: Race for NYC mayor, New Jersey governor and more | Live updates
Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa are all vying to become the 111th mayor of New York, the economic and cultural capital of the country.

(June 18, 2025)
Earlier Wednesday, Gov. Hochul told Pix 11, âI donât want to lose more people to Palm Beach“ when asked about New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdaniâs plan to raise taxes. Delgado referenced the governorâs comment when explaining his own position on taxes.
âAll options should be on the table, and the notion that we wouldnât contemplate raising taxes on the super wealthy, or that we wouldnât contemplate making sure that larger corporations pay more into the system, to me, is the exact type of âmaintain the status quo, do what you need to do just to maintain powerâ as opposed to actually thinking about what is required,â he stated.
Hochul has raised corporate taxes, but has held the line on raising new income taxes.

In Final Debate, NYC Mayoral Candidates Condemn ICE Raid on Street Vendors
Mamdani tied the raids to the cityâs failure to pass a package of street vendor reform legislation that would lift the cap on street vendor permits. Currently, there are over 10,000 people waiting for vending permits.
âWhat we need to do is actually pass the street vending reform bills that have been in the city council, some of which this mayor has actually overridden,â said Mamdani. âThatâs an example of how we can both protect street vendors, ensure quality of life, and leave no stone unturned in delivering for the people of the city, as opposed to working with the president, who is looking to declare war on those same people.â
