After his victory, Jokowi stated that growing up under the authoritarian and corrupt [[New Order (Indonesia)|New Order]] regime, he would have never expected someone with a lower-class background to become president. ''[[The New York Times]]'' reported him as saying, "now, it's quite similar to America, yeah? There is the [[American dream]], and here we have the Indonesian dream".<ref name="NYT">{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/23/world/asia/joko-widodo-populist-governor-is-named-winner-in-indonesian-election.html?_r=0|title=A Child of the Slum Rises as President of Indonesia|work=The New York Times|author=Cochrane, Joe|date=22 July 2014|access-date=22 July 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140725005049/https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/23/world/asia/joko-widodo-populist-governor-is-named-winner-in-indonesian-election.html?_r=0|archive-date=25 July 2014}}</ref> Jokowi was the first Indonesian president outside the military or the political elite, and the political commentator Salim Said gave the popular view of the politician as "someone who is our neighbour, who decided to get into politics and run for president".<ref name="NYT"/>
Penyokongnya menunjukkan perubahan positif yang pesat di Surakarta di bawah kepimpinannya dan penjenamaan bandar dengan slogan ''Solo: The Spirit of Java''. Semasa memegang jawatan, beliau berjaya memindahkan gerai-gerai antik di Taman Banjarsari tanpa insiden, satu langkah yang membantu dalam menghidupkan semula fungsi tanah hijau terbuka; beliau menekankan kepentingan firma perniagaan yang terlibat dalam aktiviti komuniti; beliau meningkatkan komunikasi dengan masyarakat tempatan dengan kerap muncul di televisyen tempatan. Sebagai susulan penjenamaan baru di bandar ini, beliau memohon Surakarta untuk menjadi ahli Pertubuhan Bandar Warisan Dunia, yang diluluskan pada tahun 2006, dan kemudiannya bandar itu memilih untuk menjadi tuan rumah persidangan organisasi pada Oktober 2008. Pada tahun 2007, Surakarta juga telah menjadi tuan rumah Festival Muzik Dunia (FMD), yang diadakan di kompleks Fort Vastenburg berhampiran pusat bandar. Pada tahun berikutnya, ia diadakan di kompleks Istana Mangkunegaran.

Sebahagian daripada gaya Jokowi (''punya gaye'') adalah unsur-unsur populis beliau yang direka untuk membina ikatan dengan pengundi yang luas.<ref name="scribd.com"/> Sebagai Datuk Bandar, beliau terlibat secara peribadi dalam insiden sebelum Krismas 2011 apabila perbandaran Surakarta mempunyai bil tertunggak hampir $1 juta ([[Rupiah Indonesia|Rp]] 8.9 bilion) yang terhutang kepada syarikat elektrik milik kerajaan ''Perusahaan Listrik Negara'' (PLN). Berikutan dasarnya untuk meneruskan pendekatan yang lebih berdisiplin untuk mengumpul bil yang tertunggak, ia mengenakan pemadaman bekalan elektrik pada lampu jalan di bandar sebelum Krismas. Kerajaan bandar dengan cepat membenarkan pembayaran, tetapi dalam menyelesaikan rang undang-undang itu, membantah bahawa PLN harus mempertimbangkan kepentingan awam sebelum mengambil tindakan sedemikian. Untuk mengukuhkan perkara itu, Jokowi membuat lawatan peribadi yang sangat awam ke pejabat PLN tempatan untuk menyampaikan Rp 8.9 bilion tunai dalam bentuk beratus-ratus ikatan nota dan juga syiling kecil.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/01/04/residents-surakarta-accompany-mayor-pay-pln.html|title=Residents of Surakarta accompany mayor to pay PLN|publisher=The Jakarta Post|author=Ayuningtyas, Kusumasari|date=4 January 2012|access-date=21 September 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921040230/https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/01/04/residents-surakarta-accompany-mayor-pay-pln.html|archive-date=21 September 2013}}</ref>

In 2018, Jokowi announced that he would run for re-election [[2019 Indonesian general election|next year]]. His vice president [[Jusuf Kalla]] was not eligible for another term because of the term limits set for president and vice president. Kalla had already served a five-year term as vice president during [[Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono]]'s first term (2004–2009). Speculation surrounding Jokowi's choice of running mate focused on several candidates, including [[Mahfud MD]], a former defence minister and chief justice of the [[Constitutional Court of Indonesia|Constitutional Court]]. In a surprise move, Jokowi announced that [[Ma'ruf Amin]] would be his running mate. Mahfud had reportedly been preparing for the vice-presidential candidacy.
