Six months into his term, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces the realities of governance after a landslide election victory built on promises of radical economic reform and social change. <\/p>\n
“Our answer to oligarchy and authoritarianism will be the strength they fear, not the concessions they crave.” This was the vision outlined by Zohran Mamdani after winning the New York City mayoral election in November 2025.<\/p>\n
Mamdani\u2019s triumph\u2014a 34-year-old outsider who challenged the Democratic Party establishment as a virtually anonymous state assemblyman\u2014was a political earthquake. Running a campaign, however, is vastly different from governing a metropolis of this scale, especially with ambitious promises like rent freezes, free public buses, and universal childcare.<\/p>\n
Six months into his term, Mamdani’s popularity continues to rise globally. Social media feeds feature viral clips of the mayor debating children, while the city remains in ecstasy following the New York Knicks’ first NBA championship in decades, with the mayor celebrating during the victory parade.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, headlines highlight Mamdani\u2019s success in balancing the city budget after inheriting a massive deficit from his predecessor. It often appears more like an inspiring family film about the power of decency and community than a politician tackling immense challenges.<\/p>\n
The latest episode of “Co to b\u0119dzie” examines the reality of New York after six months of Mamdani\u2019s rule. We analyze his successes, failures, strategic maneuvers, and moments of sheer luck.<\/p>\n
We also discuss what “Team Zohran’s” success in the Congressional primaries signifies for the future of the Democratic Party, and how Republicans intend to respond.<\/p>\n
The update also covers Poland, Ukraine, and the Order of the White Eagle; the departure of Starmer and rise of Burnham in the UK; and the status of Iran and Trump ahead of the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
