New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will be publicly sworn into office on Thursday at 1 p.m.
MAMDANI BEGINS HIS TERM AS MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), one of Mamdani’s political idols, will officiate the swearing-in ceremony that will take place as part of his public inauguration celebration. New York’s Democratic Attorney General Letitia James officially swore in Mamdani shortly after midnight on Jan. 1 in a private ceremony.
Mamdani’s inauguration ceremony will also include an introduction speech from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who championed the socialist during his campaign. Mamdani defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa after former NYC Mayor Eric Adams dropped out of the race.
