Indian-origin Democrat Zohran Mamdani has shocked the U.S. political establishment by defeating former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in the NYC mayoral primary. Backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, Mamdani's victory marks a major moment for progressive politics and a deep shake-up within the Democratic Party. Son of filmmaker Mira Nair and Marxist scholar Mahmood Mamdani, Zohran ran on a bold platform focused on housing, affordability, and social justice — and won. What does this mean for America's political future?
