Who is Zohran Mamdani, frontrunner for New York City mayor? | BBC Americast
Voting starts on Saturday for one of America’s biggest and most prominent political positions.
How did Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, emerge as the frontrunner to be the next mayor of New York, despite being virtually unknown at the start of his campaign?
Sarah, Justin and Anthony look in more detail at his policies, and in particular the centrepiece of his campaign around the cost of living. Mamdani says he will make New York more affordable, by increasing housing stock, raising taxes for the rich and bringing down the cost of rent. How realistic are his promises and how much could it matter if he can’t deliver? We also unpack his views on Israel and Gaza, and how his views on Gaza could affect the Jewish vote in New York, the biggest outside of Israel.
We get an inside track on Mamdani’s campaign from Eric Lach, staff writer at the New Yorker, who has been following him on the campaign trail, from before he won the primaries, to having dinner at Mamdani’s apartment in Queens. He also shares his views on how Mamdani will handle the NYPD, the country’s largest police department, after calling for the police to be defunded in 2020.
Donald Trump has made clear he thinks Mamdani is a radical left communist, so how might he handle the US president if he is elected as mayor? And how might Donald Trump target New York in return?

Wes Streeting resigns as health secretary, saying he has lost confidence in Keir Starmer | BBC News
Health Secretary Wes Streeting has resigned from Keir Starmer’s government, saying he has “lost confidence” in his leadership.
In a letter to the prime minister, which Streeting published online, he says “where we need vision, we have a vacuum. Where we need direction, we have drift”.
Earlier Chancellor Rachel Reeves told BBC Breakfast that a contest would “plunge the country into chaos”.
The UK PM is battling to save his job after four ministers quit and dozens of Labour MPs urged him to resign after last week’s heavy election losses.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves said in an exclusive interview with the BBC that any Labour leadership contest would “plunge the country into chaos”.
It comes as Angela Rayner, seen as a potential challenger to PM Keir Starmer, was cleared by HMRC of wrongdoing over her tax affairs after settling £40,000 in unpaid stamp duty, saying she had been “exonerated” of the accusation she had “deliberately sought to avoid tax”.
On Wednesday, allies of Health Secretary Wes Streeting said they expected him to launch a challenge as soon as today.
