NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani attended Eid al-Adha prayers wearing an Arsenal-themed kurta. Alongside was Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who appeared in a black hijab.

The 2025 elections in the U.S. mark a historic turning point for Muslim American political influence, representing not just an increase in seats but a qualitative leap toward executive power and strategic political impact.

The Democratic Party recently achieved decisive wins in the New York mayoral election and governor races in Virginia and New Jersey.

The victory of the young Muslim Mamdani as mayor of NY was not the only blow to Trump, as he faced several setbacks with the victories of another Muslim candidate and multiple Democrats, prompting the media to call the outcome “a defeat for Trump.”

Muslim candidate Zohran Mamdani wins progressive Jewish support, but faces opposition from “pro-Israel” groups and billionaires over his “Israel” stance and policies.
