Zohran Mamdani (@ZohranforNYC) is #newyork's youngest and most unlikely #mayor in a generation: an outspoken #democraticsocialist who wants to remake the city into an example of what America writ large could be. But his ambitious plans -- and combative rhetoric -- have put him at odds with both the far right and more conservative members of his own party. But inside the bounds of New York's congressional and state legislative districts, #zohranmamdani's influence has never been stronger. Rolling Stone sat down with Mamdani just days after a climactic primary election cycle in which his political allies won big across the city, to recap his first six months in office, find out where he plans to go from here, and learn what the city's biggest soccer fan thinks of the #worldcup, the #nba finals, and Taylor Swift's wedding.
