Zohran Mamdani marks 100 days

Mayor Mamdani's early tenure has been defined by a unique blend of celebrity-backed governance and fiscal reality checks.

Despite pledges to freeze rent and provide universal childcare, he has already made several U-turns or significantly scaled back these ambitious plans.

Critics point to his push for $23 billion in new taxes as evidence of a looming 'buyer's remorse' among middle-class New Yorkers.

However, his supporters argue that he is a 'perpetual student of the city' who is successfully challenging the traditional political establishment.
