Praise and vitriol pours in after Zohran Mamdani's historic NYC mayoral victory

Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani has achieved a stunning victory in New York City's mayoral election, winning with over half the votes cast. His left-wing platform focused on making the city more affordable by promising to freeze rent, provide free bus travel, and offer universal childcare. The historic win has drawn a wide spectrum of reactions, from congratulations by Democratic leaders to intense vitriol from political opponents. Donald Trump labeled the mayor-elect a "communist," while an Israeli minister accused him of being a Hamas supporter due to his criticism of the war in Gaza.
