New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani<\/a> is set to make a transition announcement Wednesday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as many questions remain about Mamdani’s incoming administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mayor-elect is set to take office in just two weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s not clear, for example, what his plans are for the schools chancellor position, or who shall lead the Fire Department.<\/p>\n

We also don’t yet know what his actual swearing in ceremony will look like, or where it will take place. Mamdani has said he is looking forward to a public swearing in ceremony<\/a> on New Year’s Day. In the past, those have typically been held at City Hall. No particulars this time around have been released as yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mamdani previously\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0that he was trying to raise\u00a0$4 million<\/a>\u00a0to help fund his transition, which is not eligible for\u00a0public matching<\/a>\u00a0funds. The effort has been largely successful, with more than $3 million raised thus far from nearly 30,000 donors, with an average donation of $88. The campaign previously said 95% of the donations have been under $250.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The transition fundraising comes as Mamdani’s team vets more than 71,000 applications for jobs in his administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
