LE FIGARO : Le futur maire veut lancer cinq supermarchés publics (un par arrondissement) pour lutter contre la vie chère et la faim. Une promesse qui interroge distributeurs, experts et acteurs de terrain.
Des supermarchés publics offrant des prix bas pour lutter contre la vie chère : l'une des mesures phares du prochain maire démocrate de New York, Zohran Mamdani, n'a pas encore vu le jour que surgissent déjà doutes et interrogations. Élu sur une promesse de réduction du coût de la vie dans la mégapole américaine, le jeune édile de 34 ans, qui prendra ses fonctions le 1er janvier, s'est engagé notamment à venir en aide au 1,4 million de New-Yorkais en situation d'insécurité alimentaire. Mais son plan de création de cinq supermarchés publics (un par arrondissement) suscite déjà des critiques du secteur et la perplexité des experts, qui le jugent pour le moment encore très imprécis. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | vendredi 28 novembre 2025

Treffen mit Mamdani: Trump findet es „in Ordnung“, ein „Faschist“ zu sein
BERLINER ZEITUNG: Der US-Präsident traf am Freitag auf den zukünftigen New Yorker Bürgermeister. Beide fanden zuletzt harte Worte für einander. Doch der US-Präsident schlägt jetzt einen anderen Ton an.
Der zukünftige Bürgermeister von New York, Zohran Mamdani, hat am Freitag den US-Präsidenten Donald Trump im Weißen Haus besucht. Für besondere Aufmerksamkeit sorgte dabei eine Nachfrage einer Reporterin an den Demokraten. „Behaupten Sie, dass Sie Präsident Trump für einen Faschisten halten?“, hakte eine Journalistin nach.
Mamdani bezeichnete Trump während seiner Siegesrede am 4. November nicht explizit als „Faschist“, er sprach allerdings von „Trumps Faschismus“, den er ablehne. Als Mamdani auf die Nachfrage der Reporterin zu einer Erklärung ansetzte, fiel ihm Trump ins Wort. » | Eva Maria Braungart | Sonntag, 23. November 2025

Trump and Mamdani Form an Unlikely Alliance at White House Meeting
THE GUARDIAN: ‘We agreed a lot more than I would have thought,’ the US president said of his first face-to-face meeting with the New York mayor-elect
Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor-elect, walked out of their meeting on Friday afternoon with an unlikely alliance, agreeing to work together on housing, food prices and cost-of-living concerns that have defined both their political appeals to working-class voters.
“We agreed a lot more than I would have thought,” Trump said in the Oval Office, sometimes jumping in to shield Mamdani from aggressive questioning from the press.
The sit-down – which many had anticipated would be contentious, given months of intense rhetoric in which Trump branded Mamdani a “communist lunatic” – instead produced camaraderie, warm words and concrete pledges of cooperation between the Republican president and the self-described democratic socialist who secured a commanding electoral victory earlier at the beginning of November with over 50% of the vote.
“I feel very confident that he can do a very good job,” Trump said after the meeting, offering praise for his ideological opposite. “The better he does, the happier I am. I will say there’s no difference in party. There’s no difference in anything, and we’re going to be helping him to make everybody’s dream come true, having a strong and very safe New York.”
The president congratulated Mamdani on his mayoral victory, describing it as “an incredible race against smart people” – and the two politicians shook hands. » | Joseph Gedeon in Washington | Friday, November 21, 2025

The Debate: Radical Change? Mamdani Wins New York as Voters Turn on Trump across US • FRANCE 24 English
The Guardian View on Zohran Mamdani’s Victory in New York: The Democrats Can Build on an Uplifting Night
THE GUARDIAN — EDITORIAL: A historic campaign that focused on the theme of affordability can offer wider lessons to a re-energised opposition
Since the re-election of Donald Trump last November, a demoralised Democratic party has struggled to reverse a palpable sense of downward momentum. At a grassroots level, amid plunging poll ratings, there has been a yearning for renewal and a more punchy, combative approach in opposition. Against that bleak backdrop, the remarkable election of Zohran Mamdani to the New York City mayoralty is a moment for progressives to savour.
Mr Mamdani entered the mayoral race last October as a socialist outsider with almost zero name recognition. He won it with more than 50% of the vote after the highest turnout in more than half a century, and despite the best efforts of billionaires to bankroll his chief rival, the former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, to victory. That achievement makes him the youngest mayor of the US’s largest city for more than 100 years and the first Muslim to occupy the role.
New York is a traditional Democratic stronghold and is in no sense a national bellwether. Nevertheless, faced with a Maga movement that has based its success on the support of working-class voters, the Democratic party can learn much from Mr Mamdani’s extraordinary triumph. Leaving culture-war politics to his increasingly desperate opponents, he campaigned relentlessly and almost exclusively on the theme of affordability. » | Editorial | Wednesday, November 5, 2025

„Ich bin Trumps schlimmster Albtraum“: Zohran Mamdani wird Bürgermeister von New York
BERLINER ZEITUNG: Der 34-jährige linke Demokrat Zohran Mamdani setzt sich in New York klar gegen Ex-Gouverneur Andrew Cuomo durch – und wird als erster Muslim an die Spitze der US-Metropole gewählt.
Der 34-jährige Zohran Mamdani hat die Bürgermeisterwahl in New York City gewonnen. Nach Prognosen von US-Medien setzte sich der Demokrat aus dem linken Spektrum der Partei am Dienstag deutlich gegen seine Rivalen durch. Nach Auszählung von 91 Prozent der Stimmen kommt Mamdani auf 50,4 Prozent. Damit wird er der erste Muslim an der Spitze New York Citys.
„Diese Stadt ist Eure Stadt, und diese Demokratie gehört auch Euch“, sagte Mamdani am Abend in seiner Siegesrede vor jubelnden Anhängern. In seiner Ansprache versprach Mamdani, dass New York nun „in diesem Moment politischer Finsternis“ das Licht sein werde. Im Wahlkampf nannte er sich selbst den „schlimmsten Albtraum“ von US-Präsident Donald Trump.
Trump reagierte auf Mamdanis Wahlsieg mit den Worten, er selbst habe nicht auf dem Wahlzettel gestanden. Auch der Shutdown sei daran schuld, dass die Republikaner nicht gewonnen hätten. » | Sophie Barkey | Mittwoch, 5. November 2025

«Ce n’est pas seulement une victoire pour les démocrates» : Mamdani triomphe à New York mais le parti recentre son message ailleurs
LE FIGARO : DÉCRYPTAGE - Le candidat socialiste a remporté comme prévu la mairie de New York, mais en Virginie et dans le New Jersey, les candidats démocrates ont remporté les élections sur des programmes débarrassés des discours woke.
L’élection de Zohran Mamdani à la mairie de New York a moins marqué le virage à gauche de l’Amérique urbaine qu’il n’a confirmé le discrédit qui entoure l’appareil du parti démocrate, représenté face à lui par l’ancien gouverneur Andrew Cuomo. Mais la victoire simultanée de deux démocrates centristes aux postes de gouverneurs de Virginie et du New Jersey, et le succès du référendum de redécoupage électoral décidé par le gouverneur de Californie Gavin Newsom, a parallèlement indiqué une autre voie que la gauche pour renouveler un parti à la recherche de ses repères.
Un an après la victoire de Donald Trump, ces premiers scrutins étaient attendus comme des oracles, en particulier par les démocrates. La campagne victorieuse de Mamdani a été saluée comme celle d’un populisme de gauche, mêlant des discours exaltants, un programme un peu vague, et des promesses de lendemains radieux. «Le soleil s’est peut-être couché sur notre ville ce soir… mais je vois poindre l’aube d’un jour meilleur pour l’humanité », a lancé le vainqueur de l’élection mardi soir dans un discours exalté, citant le syndicaliste et socialiste américain Eugene Debs. » | Par Adrien Jaulmes | mercredi 5 novembre 2025

Zohran Mamdani Says He's Ready for Donald Trump | The New Yorker Interview
Rama Duwaji: Who Is the Wife of NYC's Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani?
BBC: At 28, Rama Duwaji will be the youngest first lady New York City has ever had - thrust into the spotlight as her husband Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral race on Tuesday night.
And in his victory speech, the mayor-elect had a special shoutout for his wife standing beside him.
"And to my incredible wife, Rama, hayati," he said, using the Arabic word for "my life". "There is no one I would rather have by my side in this moment, and in every moment."
Duwaji is a New York-based artist with Syrian roots whose work often explores Middle Eastern themes. Her work has appeared on BBC News, and in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Vice and London's Tate Modern museum.
"Rama isn't just my wife; she's an incredible artist who deserves to be known on her own terms," Mamdani wrote in a post on 12 May, announcing they had been married three months earlier.
"Omg she's real," Duwaji joked in a comment on that post.
The couple met on dating app Hinge, "so there is still hope in those dating apps," Mamdani said in an interview with The Bulwark. » | Max Matza | BBC News | Thursday, June 26, 2025. Updated: Wednesday, November 5, 2025

Zohran Mamdani Wins New York City Mayoral Election | BBC News
Nov 5, 2025 | Zohran Mamdani, 34, has won New York City's race for mayor in a contest that rallied young voters and sparked debate about the future direction of the Democratic Party.
The Ugandan-born Mamdani, a Democrat, beat former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent, to become the youngest person in over a century to lead the largest city in the US.
"My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty," he told the crowd during a victory speech, touting voters' "mandate for change" and "mandate for a city we can afford".
A self-described democratic socialist, he made affordability the central message of his campaign, pledging to expand social programmes paid for by new taxes on high earners and corporations.
Democrats also won governor races in Virginia and New Jersey, and in California voters backed a proposition to redraw the congressional electoral map ahead of next year's midterm elections.

How Zohran Mamdani Beat Back New York’s Elite and Was Elected Mayor
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The 34-year-old assemblyman won the Democratic primary by defying the city’s all-powerful establishment. He secured the mayoralty by delicately disarming it.
Zohran Mamdani was still asleep early in the morning after June’s Democratic primary when the phone calls started flooding in. There were the usual congratulations, certainly, but also signs of something more worrying.
A young democratic socialist, Mr. Mamdani had just toppled former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, upending New York’s power structure in an upset so stunning and so swift that even he had not fully seen it coming.
Now, titans of the city establishment were clogging up the phones of the candidate and his small team, looking for belated introductions. Most did not sound happy.
“It’s a great day in New York,” Morris Katz, Mr. Mamdani’s 26-year-old political adviser, told the real estate magnate William C. Rudin in one of the conversations. » | Nicholas Fandos | Tuesday, November 4, 2025

Zohran Mamdani, the newly elected mayor of New York City, issued a direct call to Donald Trump in his victory speech on Tuesday night, saying he would enter City Hall with a firm plan to counter the politics of division and cronyism that helped elevate him to the White House.
Mamdani, speaking to supporters in Brooklyn after a decisive victory over Andrew Cuomo, the former governor, said New York had shown it would be the “light” in a “moment of political darkness”.
“Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall,” Mamdani, who will be the city’s first Muslim mayor, said. “No more will New York be a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia and win an election.”
The mayor-elect then issued a direct message to the president, saying if any city could show the nation how to defeat Trump, it was the “city that gave rise to him”.
“So, if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This is not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one. So, Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up,” Mamdani said, to raucous applause. » | Nick Visser | Wednesday, November 5, 2025

Trump Threatens to Cut Funds If ‘Communist’ Mamdani Wins Mayoral Election
THE GUARDIAN: President backs Cuomo in election eve Truth Social post as Mamdani hits back at Trump’s ‘threat – it is not the law’
On the eve of New York’s well-watched mayoral election, President Donald Trump issued a threat to its voters: stop Zohran Mamdani or pay.
“If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “I don’t want to send, as President, good money after bad.”
Trump’s comments echo those broadcast on Sunday during his appearance on CBS’s 60 minutes, in which he said: “It’s gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you’re sending there.” » | George Chidi | Tuesday, November 4, 2025
