Zohran Mamdani's first 100 days

Zohran Mamdani's first 100 days

Mayor Mamdani has proposed a new tax on second homes worth more than $5 million, a plan that has received support from Governor Kathy Hochul but sharp criticism from the city's financial elite.

President Trump has accused the mayor of 'destroying' New York with his socialist economic agenda.

Despite the rhetoric, Mamdani has described his conversations with the president as 'honest and direct.' The mayor's first few months have been defined by his attempts to deliver cost-of-living relief while navigating a complex political landscape.
