In an emotional address ahead of the New York City mayoral elections, Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani defended his Muslim identity while condemning “racist” attacks from rivals. Surrounded by faith leaders outside a Bronx mosque, Mamdani tearfully recalled how his aunt “stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab.” He vowed to represent “every New Yorker,” while acknowledging the “indignities” long endured by Muslims in the city. Criticising Republican Curtis Sliwa and independent candidate Andrew Cuomo for Islamophobic rhetoric, Mamdani alleged that Super PAC ads portrayed him as a terrorist. However, his remarks sparked backlash, with US Vice President JD Vance mocking him on X, saying Zohran’s comments implied that the “real victim of 9/11 was his aunt.” Who Is Zohran Mamdani?
