"Zoom in: The orders that Mamdani rescinded related to those Adams issued after Sept. 26, 2024, when his predecessor Adams was indicted on federal bribery and fraud charges, which the Trump administration later successfully pushed to have dropped. Mamdani took the action on his first day in office to ensure a "a fresh start for the incoming administration and reissues executive orders that the administration feels are central to delivering continued service, excellence, and value-driven leadership," per a statement from his office."
"What he's saying: "Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously," said Mamdani, NYC's first mayor South Asian descent and the first to be born in Africa, during his inaugural speech outside NYC's City Hall. "We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try," he added. "We will govern without shame and insecurity, making no apology for what we believe."
Mamdani rescinded executive orders that Adams issued after Sept. 26, 2024, tied to Adams's federal indictment on bribery and fraud charges that the Trump administration later pushed to have dropped. Mamdani acted on his first day in office to provide a "fresh start" and reissued executive orders deemed central to delivering continued service, excellence, and value-driven leadership. He pledged to govern expansively and audaciously, acknowledged possible failure but promised courage, and vowed to govern without shame or insecurity. He declared he was elected as a Democratic socialist and will govern by those principles without abandoning them for fear of being deemed radical. He is NYC's first mayor of South Asian descent and the first to be born in Africa.
