Mamdani, whose upset of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the primary has sent shockwaves through the state’s political establishment, could become the first New York City Mayor in history to have met his wife on Hinge. Now in the spotlight, this is who Rama Duwaji is.

People across the country are still learning about Zohran Mamdani, who stunned the political world and is poised to become the Democratic nominee for NYC mayor after sweeping past Andrew Cuomo

Syrian-American artist Rama Duwaji gained public attention after her husband, Zohran Mamdani, defeated Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary. Known for her political art, Duwaji’s identity stands on its own.

Mamdani, who defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and several other contenders in Tuesday’s primary, is a democratic socialist who campaigned on establishing city-run grocery stores, a $30 minimum wage by 2030 and free tuition at city colleges.

New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who is on track to win the Democratic Party ’s nomination in the New York City mayoral race, on Wednesday reacted to Donald Trump calling him a “100% Communist Lunatic” following his surprise success, warning the president that he is prepared to challenge the more cruel elements of his agenda.

Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, New York City natives who lead their parties’ caucuses in each chamber of Congress, quickly issued statements saying they had spoken to Mamdani and praising the campaign he ran. They stopped short of endorsing him.
