Zohran Mamdani has won New York’s mayoral race , NBC News projects, after the 34-year-old democratic socialist energized progressives in the city and across the country while generating intense backlash from President Donald Trump and Republicans, as well as some Democratic moderates.

Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, on Tuesday handily defeated former New York Gov.
