Overview
- Eric Adams pledged full cooperation in a Thursday call, as Zohran Mamdani’s team begins staffing a transition led by veterans of prior city and federal administrations for a Jan. 1 handoff.
- In San Juan for the Somos conference, Mamdani greeted hotel workers, visited a mosque for Friday prayers, helped serve meals at its soup kitchen, and met with Democratic power brokers.
- Mamdani told NY1 his NYPD would not assist ICE operations and said delivering on affordability will require new revenue, expressing openness to tax proposals after Gov. Kathy Hochul’s cautions.
- Turnout climbed to roughly 2 million voters, and analyses show Mamdani won heavily in many Black neighborhoods and secured majorities across much of the middle‑income electorate.
- Voters approved three ballot measures to accelerate affordable housing with more than 57% support, concentrating attention on implementation as commentary critiques the tone of his victory speech.
