New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently revealed why the “difficulty” of his job makes it so rewarding, and his explanation is getting love on social media.
Mamdani, while taking questions at a WNYC event last week that recognized his first 100 days in office, responded to an audience member who began by describing a desire to “change the world” and how the mayor has a chance to make his and New Yorkers’ ideas “real.”
“Can I just ask you: Is it worth it?” the audience member asked.
“I think so. I think it’s — it’s an incredibly difficult job. It’s also unbelievably fulfilling. It’s truly the greatest job I could ever think of,” Mamdani replied.
The democratic socialist, who stunned former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral primary before his big general election victory last year, went on to stress that winning something means you can “change someone’s life.”
