Zohran Mamdani Touts Accomplishments After 100 Days as NYC Mayor

HeadlineApr 13, 2026

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani marked his first 100 days in office with a pair of rallies on Sunday, first at Terminal 5 in Manhattan and later at the Knockdown Center in Queens. Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders spoke at both events. Mayor Mamdani touted his accomplishments to roll out 2,000 daycare seats in low-income neighborhoods and fill 100,000 potholes in his first 100 days. He also announced that New York City will open a city-owned grocery store first in East Harlem and in each borough by the end of his first term. This is Mayor Mamdani.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani: “And as I said on that freezing January afternoon to more than eight-and-a-half million New Yorkers, we will make no apology for what we believe. I was elected as a democratic socialist, and I will govern as a democratic socialist.”
