NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, 34, calls his first 100 days a model for Democrats—delivering universal childcare and worker protections while fixing potholes. He tells NPR's Newsmakers how his 'pothole politics' blends progressive wins with essential services, why he still calls Trump a fascist despite meetings, and what Democrats must do to win midterms. Mamdani secured $1.2 billion for universal childcare, $30 million in landlord settlements affecting 6,669 apartments, and $100,000 daily recoveries for exploited workers within 100 days.
