When New York City’s now mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani was polling at just 1% last December, we had him on Zeteo’s ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ to talk about his campaign in an interview that soon after went viral.

After he won the Democratic primary, galvanizing more than 100,000 volunteers into “an unstoppable force”, Mehdi sat down with him again just weeks before the election, as he was facing a coordinated campaign of Islamophobic attacks.

Now, six weeks from inauguration on January 1, 2026, Mehdi sits down with the mayor-elect again, this time to talk about how he’s going to implement his ambitious FDR-inspired affordability agenda – and how the pressure is on to deliver.
