\n New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani<\/a>\u2019s inauguration will feature Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders,<\/a> the two most prominent leaders of the Democratic Party\u2019s progressive movement.\n <\/p>\n

\n Mamdani, who will be publicly sworn in at a City Hall inauguration ceremony on New Year\u2019s Day, will be introduced by fellow New Yorker Ocasio-Cortez, his transition team told CNN.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cFor the many New Yorkers who have long felt betrayed by a broken status quo, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez embodies a new kind of politics that puts working people at the heart of it,\u201d Mamdani said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019ve been so proud to count her as a partner across the many stages of our people-powered movement\u2014from the primary campaign to our Forest Hills rally in October to the very first day of the transition\u2014and I\u2019m honored that she\u2019ll be a part of our historic City Hall inauguration.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Ocasio-Cortez, who endorsed Mamdani early in the primary and campaigned alongside him on several occasions, is expected to deliver opening remarks at the ceremony, which is open to 4,000 ticketed guests.\n <\/p>\n

\n Mamdani\u2019s transition is also organizing a \u201cwatch party\u201d set to take place alongside Broadway, part of an effort to make the celebration accessible to any New Yorker who wants to attend.\n <\/p>\n

\n Sanders will administer Mamdani\u2019s oath of office during the City Hall ceremony. Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, will technically take office at midnight on New Year\u2019s Day.\n <\/p>\n

\n As thousands of revelers usher in the new year in Times Square, Mamdani and his family will be in Lower Manhattan where a private swearing-in ceremony is expected to take place at an old, now defunct subway station underneath City Hall Plaza.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani\u2019s inauguration will feature Rep.
