New Era of Class Warfare Unfolds as Mayor-elect Mamdani Takes the Reins in NYC

The Washington Post editorial board says Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has 'dropped the mask' after winning his election in New York City, offering a 'seething' victory speech that criticized his critics as perpetuating class warfare. In his speech, Mamdani vowed to take on the city's wealthy elite and address income inequality. The editorial describes this moment as a turning point for the new mayor, marking a shift from being an outsider to a leader with a clear agenda.
