Zohran Mamdani will be sworn in as NYC mayor by fellow socialist Bernie Sanders and AG Tish James

Zoh’s gonna feel the Bern.

Zohran Mamdani will be sworn in as New York City’s 112th mayor by his socialist idol Bernie Sanders during a rollicking New Year’s Day public ceremony in Lower Manhattan, the incoming Hizzoner announced Monday.

The planned Inauguration Day “block party” near City Hall will be the second time Sanders — a Brooklyn native and Vermont senator — ushers a fellow progressive into the “second toughest job in America.”

Loftily titled “Inauguration of a New Era,” the fete promises to usher in Mamdani’s dreamy socialist vision for the Big Apple, including promises to deliver free buses, no-cost childcare, a rent freeze and city-owned grocery stores — in part by hiking taxes on the rich.
