New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to make an announcement Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The event is scheduled for 2 p.m. Further details on what the mayor-elect will discuss have not been announced.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, preparations are underway for Mamdani’s inauguration on Thursday. From a block party to two different swearing-in ceremonies, it’s expected to be a jam-packed day.<\/p>\n

Mamdani’s transition team said he’ll be sworn in just after midnight on New Year’s Day during a private ceremony at the Old City Hall subway station<\/a>. Mamdani said the underground setting is meant to recognize the working people who keep the city moving.<\/p>\n

Later that day, Mamdani will be publicly sworn in at City Hall<\/a> with a large public celebration planned nearby<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, the transition team announced Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> will deliver opening remarks at the afternoon inauguration ceremony.<\/p>\n

“For 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,” Mamdani said in a statement. “I’ve been so proud to count her as a partner across the many stages of our people-powered movement \u2014 from the primary campaign to our Forest Hills rally in October to the very first day of the transition \u2014 and I’m honored that she’ll be a part of our historic City Hall inauguration.”<\/p>\n

The transition team also announced Pulitzer Prize finalist Cornelius Eady has been chosen as the inaugural poet and will deliver an original poem titled “Proof.”<\/p>\n

New York Attorney General Letitia James will deliver the oath of office to Mamdani<\/a> during the private ceremony, and Sen. Bernie Sanders will deliver the oath at the public inauguration ceremony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to make an announcement Tuesday.
