Zohran Mamdani's first 100 days

Zohran Mamdani's first 100 days

Mamdani's first hundred days have seen him introduce universal childcare initiatives and a series of popular municipal fixes, such as reducing scaffolding across the city.

However, he has also faced backlash for backing new taxes that could impact middle-class New Yorkers, despite a pledge to only target the wealthy.

A new lawsuit from a city investigator also alleges a tryst between a Mamdani appointee and a top aide, adding a layer of scandal to the administration.

As he marks this early milestone, the mayor remains a polarizing figure, with supporters praising his energy and detractors warning of a disconnect between his rhetoric and the city's fiscal reality.
