Zohran Mamdani hailed "a new era" for New York on Thursday, promising in his inaugural address to deliver on the ambitious agenda that electrified progressives in the city and saw him defeat the political establishment in both the Democratic primary and the general election last year. Addressing thousands of supporters who braved freezing temperatures to attend the ceremony at City Hall, Mamdani vowed to "govern expansively and audaciously" for residents. "I was elected as a democratic socialist, and I will govern as a democratic socialist. I will not abandon my principles for fear of being deemed radical," he said.
Mamdani was sworn in by Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders, who also spoke during the ceremony.
