Screenshot from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zohran_Mamdani&oldid=1320519259 (current as of November 4, 2025) Mamdani's campaign platform has been considered by outlets to be similar to the policies pursued by former New York mayor Fiorello La Guardia and former U.S. president Franklin Delano Roosevelt.[91][92] The German state broadcaster Deutsche Welle classifies Mamdani's policies as being on the center-left of the global political spectrum.[93] This is unusual in the United States, as the 1950s Second Red Scare and the 1990s Democratic Pivot towards centrist neoliberalism occurred, which shifted the overton window of American politics significantly to the right compared to almost any other liberal democracies, and led national politics to being generally restricted between centrists and the hard right.[93] While misinformation has spread during the 2025 New York mayoral race calling his policies radical or communist, there is a consensus among political scientists that his policies are similar to those pursued by mainstream center-left parties in other developed democracies.[93] Mamdani identifies as being within the democratic socialist tradition.[51][94] He is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.[60][71] Mamdani has also been called a progressive.[68]

The cause of progressivism in the US won a major victory with the election of Zohran Mamdami as mayor of New York City, and etymologically that makes sense. The word mayor, borrowed from Old French maire ca. 1300 in the sense “head of a city or town government” but with the original sense “greater, superior”, comes from Latin maior, the comparative form of the adjective magnus “large, great, big, high, tall, long, broad, extensive, spacious”. Latin maior was also borrowed directly into English in its original sense of “bigger, greater, more important” as major.
