Elise Stefanik, a Republican congresswoman, is a leading ally of President Trump who has gone to great lengths to criticize Ms. Hochul and Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
Zohran Mamdani has been planning his mayoral transition for months and appears poised to hire veterans of city government to key posts in his administration.
Zohran Mamdani motivated voters to head for the polls, using a broad coalition of supporters to overcome Andrew Cuomo’s success in siphoning Republican votes.
The 34-year-old assemblyman won the Democratic primary by defying the city’s all-powerful establishment. He secured the mayoralty by delicately disarming it.
Zohran Mamdani in June held the first of three campaign rallies with leaders of the left, appearing with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Manhattan.
