Freshly sworn in as New York City’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani moved quickly to put his stamp on City Hall, signing a series of executive orders on his first day in office Thursday, including one that revokes most directives issued by his predecessor, Eric Adams, after Adams was indicted last fall.
Speaking from New York City Hall, Mamdani framed the move as part of a broader effort to restore public trust in city government. “We speak about this day as a new era. And in order to fulfill that hope, we have to reckon with why so many New Yorkers have turned away from politics over the last few months, the last few years, the last few decades,” Mamdani said.
