The 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist was poised to win New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary in a surprising upset over former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
If elected, Zohran Mamdani, who was born in Uganda, would be the first Muslim to become New York City mayor.
Model Emily Ratajkowski has become the latest high-profile individual to endorse the 33-year-old lawmaker in the election.
The model shared a video on her Instagram account, featuring her wearing a “Hot Girls for Zohran” T-shirt while standing in front of Zohran Mamdani.
Emily Ratajkowski began the video by stating that the election for the New York City mayor will be decided by young voters.

“This election is gonna be decided by young voters. The last mayoral race was decided by just 7,000 voters. Your vote really matters,” she said.
In the caption of her post, the American model wrote that Mamdani was what “the future of the Democratic party looks like”.
“The world is watching. Polls are open till 9 pm. GET OUT THE VOTE! Do not rank Cuomo and rank ZOHRAN no. 1. Make NY safe and affordable for all,” Emily Ratajkowski stated.
It is worth noting here that Zohran Mamdani’s progressive campaign has focused on freezing rents, providing universal childcare and free buses, and taxing the wealthy to fund social services.
His platform has drawn endorsements from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Senator Bernie Sanders, and New York’s Working Families Party.
