New York to get first Muslim mayor

A record number of primary votes have been cast in the New York mayoral election in the United States. Democratic candidate Zohrab Mamdani is leading in the polls. It is believed that New York is about to get its first Muslim mayor, Mamdani.
The election is being seen as one of the most important events of the year in the United States. Mamdani is leading his opponent by a large margin in the primary votes. He is attracting the city’s liberal voters with several promises, including free bus service for all, child care services and rent waivers for about a million New Yorkers.
However, opponents have risen against the Muslim candidate. In addition to political opponents, Jewish rabbis are also encouraging people not to vote for him. Rabbis from various cities are signing a letter to create public opinion against Mamdani.
In addition, one of the main opponents, Andrew Cuomo, has repeatedly labeled him an Islamist. In addition, the former governor of New York claims that his promises are economically unfounded.
