The newly elected mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, delivered a message to U.S. President Donald Trump: ‘Turn up the volume’. During a victory speech predicted by CNN’s projection, Mamdani promised to ‘usher in a generation of change’, rejecting the president’s policies. ‘If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it’s the city that elected him,’ Mamdani said.
Mamdani also stated that his victory tonight is for all New Yorkers, from taxi drivers to cooks. He shared a story about going on a 15-day hunger strike in front of City Hall with a taxi driver named Richard. ‘My brother, we’re outside City Hall now,’ he said.
Mamdani recounted other conversations he had with working-class people over the years. He said his campaign was about ensuring that these people were represented. ‘This city is your city and this democracy is yours too,’ he said.
