The mayor-elect’s turnaround came as he selected Kamar Samuels to lead New York City’s school system at a precarious moment.

The mayor-elect said the selections indicate his administration’s commitment to help New York City’s vulnerable residents.

The selection of Kamar Samuels, who leads schools on the West Side of Manhattan, could help Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani craft his schools agenda.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose rise to prominence foreshadowed Zohran Mamdani’s success, will speak at his swearing-in outside City Hall on Thursday.

The baby was found unresponsive in a Queens home, where the mother had tried to kill herself, a police report said.

Cornelius Eady, a National Book Award finalist, shared an excerpt from “Proof,” an original poem he has written for Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration as mayor of New York City.

Hours before Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani holds an inauguration block party outside City Hall, he will officially become mayor in a small private ceremony.

A 14-year-old boy was also wounded in the shooting, which happened at a New York City Housing Authority building. The police said they were looking for six people involved in the violence.
