Zohran Mamdani will be sworn in by his socialist idol Bernie Sanders during a public ceremony in Lower Manhattan on January 1, his transition team announced Monday.
The Brooklyn native and Vermont senator will return to the Big Apple on Inauguration Day for mayor-elect Mamdani’s “block party” near City Hall.
State Attorney General Letitia James will officially swear him in as New York City’s 112th mayor in a private event at midnight.
“It is an honor to be sworn in by two leaders I have admired for years: Attorney General Tish James and Senator Bernie Sanders,” Mamdani said in a statement.
Mamdani’s team is expecting between 40,000 and 50,000 attendees and will shut down Broadway south of Canal Street for the public celebration, The Post first reported Friday.
