Join us for this week’s POLITICO Pro briefing — your inside look at how POLITICO Pro empowers leaders with the intelligence and access that shape policy decisions.

The Jan. 1 inauguration of New York City’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will usher in a new era of politics and public policy for the city, the state and beyond.

Mamdani, a democratic socialist who shocked the political world with his wins in the June Democratic primary and November’s general election, has an ambitious agenda — free child care, free bus fares and revamping the city’s public safety apparatus. But it will require a considerable cash outlay and is largely dependent on Albany. President Donald Trump, who had a surprisingly cordial meeting with Mamdani in the White House, has nevertheless threatened to send the National Guard to the city and cut federal aid in response to his victory.

Please join POLITICO reporters on Thursday, December 11 at 1:00pm ET for a comprehensive discussion on the policies Mamdani hopes to implement, the challenges that face him and what to expect in the year ahead.
