New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani named educator and YouTube star Ms. Rachel to his inauguration committee on Wednesday, elevating the children’s content creator and frequent lightning rod for conservative backlash into a high-profile role ahead of his Jan. 1, 2026, swearing-in.

Mamdani’s transition team said the committee will help plan and host a free public inauguration block party, billed as a citywide celebration that reflects the coalition behind his election. The group includes artists, labor leaders, organizers, business figures, and several campaign field leads who worked on Mamdani’s run.

I'm not sure this sub has a rule that post titles must match article titles. There aren't any rules posted in the sidebar, so it's kind of just at the whims of the sole mod.

That's actually a good point I should have probably done that.
