Young Socialist Mayor Wipes Eric Adams’ Slate Clean, Brags About Being Unapologetically Radical

KEY POINTS

•Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as NYC's first Muslim, youngest mayor ever on January 1, 2026.
•He rescinded all executive orders signed after September 26, 2024, by Eric Adams following Adams' federal bribery indictment.
•Despite reforms, Mamdani confirmed the Office to Combat Antisemitism would remain operational as part of his administration.

On January 1st, 2026, Zohran Mamdani, New York City's first Muslim and youngest mayor in over a century at age 34, took the oath on a historic Quran while his wife Rama Duwaji stood by in the old City Hall subway station. Fresh off Eric Adams’ bribery indictment rollercoaster (charges dropped thanks to a mysterious Trump admin backflip), Mamdani immediately nuked Adams’ Executive Orders post-Sept 26, 2024, promising a 'fresh start.' Despite this, he vowed to keep Adams’ Office to Combat Antisemitism intact – apparently even Democratic socialists have a soft spot for checks and balances. Mamdani's inaugural vibe? Govern ‘expansively and audaciously’ with zero shame about radicalism—because who needs moderate when you’re number 112 in NYC? His inauguration photo op lineup included Letitia James swearing him in down in the City Hall subway (because normal halls are too mainstream) and Bernie Sanders later solidifying the socialist street cred with a ceremonial second swearing-in. Confetti and AOC speeches rounded out the socialist revolution kickoff party.
