Zohran Mamdani sworn in as NYC mayor in public ceremony at City Hall. Eastern Thursday. This live blog is now closed.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has moved swiftly to reshape City Hall, issuing an executive order that revokes all directives signed by former Mayor Eric Adams after September 26, 2024 — the date of Adams’s indictment.

Mamdani framed the move as a defense of working-class New Yorkers, though he did not provide specific examples of policies affected.

    I hope and assume if there are any policies the criminal pushed that were actually good, Mamdani will simply re-order them himself.

      That seems to be the case.

      Mamdani noted he will issue a new executive order to retain the Office to Combat Antisemitism, which Adams had established through his own directive. The office was created to coordinate city efforts against antisemitic incidents and promote community safety.

        It feels good to see a politician who actually shows attention to detail and cares about the people they’re supposed to represent. That’s definitely not the norm.

        I like this approach. It is adding legitimacy back to the government. At no point in the future will anyone question the legitimacy executive orders that Mamdani resubmits because of Adam’s past criminal indictments.
