Zohran Mamdani just became mayor-elect of New York City at 34 years old. The working class elected him while establishment Democrats and Republicans tried to stop his campaign by telling voters a Muslim couldn't lead America's largest city. In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, Dr. Daisy Khan sits down with Farrah Khan, Former Mayor of Irvine, the first Muslim woman of color to lead a large American city. They dissect what Mamdani's victory means for Muslim Americans and how he built a multi-racial coalition that defied identity politics by addressing economic pressures facing all communities. Mayor Khan shares brutal truths about the governance challenges ahead, warning that Islamophobia won't stop now that he's elected. She reveals how establishment forces will work to block him at every turn and why public pressure matters more than ever. Learn what it actually takes to survive as a Muslim mayor, why the working class became a political force, and the one crucial piece of advice that could determine whether Mamdani succeeds in the toughest job in America.
