Photographer captures Zohran Mamdani’s improbable rise

Season 2025 Episode 362 | 7m 18s

Zohran Mamdani began 2025 as a little-known state legislator, and in the first minutes of 2026 he’ll be sworn in as mayor of New York, often called the second-toughest job in America. Campaign photographer Kara McCurdy documented his remarkable rise, capturing images of Mamdani since before his first race for New York State Assembly in 2020. Ali Rogin speaks with McCurdy about her experience.
