Zohran Mamdani's First 100 Days

Mamdani highlighted progress on his universal childcare and free bus initiatives, though he acknowledged that many objectives remain unfulfilled.

His administration has recently proposed a new tax on property owners with second homes worth over $5 million, a move aimed at addressing the city's budget deficit.

The Mayor has also been vocal in his criticism of the war in Iran, echoing the sentiments of Tupac Shakur by questioning the allocation of funds for conflict over social welfare.

Despite their ideological differences, Mamdani described his conversations with President Trump as 'honest and direct,' focusing on their shared commitment to New York City's recovery.
