Republican Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County executive, just won a second term less than three weeks ago. He's now considering a run for a higher office: Governor of New York.

In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani says he’s open to an “alternative” to increasing taxes on the wealthy or on businesses to fund his proposals, after speaking with New York Gov.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani says the city’s current police commissioner will remain in the post. The appointment of Jessica Tisch was announced Wednesday.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani told "Good Morning America" on Wednesday that he would not be "intimidated" by potential threats from President Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard to the city. "His threats are inevitable," Mamdani said. "This has nothing to do a safety, it has to do with intimidation."

President Donald Trump and N.Y.C. Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani seemed to have an unexpectedly cordial meeting on Friday, Nov. 21, despite their vast political differences

Over the weekend, during his walk to Marine One, he donned a plush burgundy scarf paired with an oversized black overcoat, a style that quickly drew comparisons to New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s signature fashion.
