Claim 2: “A busy section of Manhattan’s Park Avenue would look more like its namesake under a plan floated by Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday.”

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

The evidence confirms that Zohran Mamdani is the Mayor of New York City and that he was elected in the 2025 election, succeeding Eric Adams. However, none of the provided sources mention him floating a plan to change a busy section of Manhattan's Park Avenue to resemble its namesake. The claim is based on a specific action (floating a plan for Park Avenue) that is not supported by the provided evidence, although the identity and role of the Mayor are verified.
