Bernie Sanders swears in NYC's new democratic socialist mayor without his famous viral mittens from Biden's 2021 inauguration, marking a visual departure.

"I was elected as a democratic socialist and I will govern as a democratic socialist," Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in his inauguration speech.

Zohran Mamdani was sworn in early Thursday as the 112th mayor of New York City. The democratic socialist is the city's first Muslim mayor, as well as one of its youngest ever.

The mayor promised to govern the city as a "democratic socialist," and said that although he might not be successful in all of his plans for the city, it would not be because of a lack of courage to try.

Mamdani's inauguration promises a grand socialist celebration with prominent leftist figures attending.

In an exclusive interview with The Nation, the incoming democratic socialist mayor discusses making New York a "showcase of light" through the political darkness.

The ceremony for the 34-year-old Mamdani, a Muslim and democratic-socialist who ran as the Democratic Party's nominee, will be at midnight in an old, decommissioned City Hall subway station.

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's historic inauguration will feature Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Mamdani-backed socialist candidate criticizes Independence Day, claiming it means nothing.
