"I think that this is a politics that can flourish anywhere because, frankly, there is only one majority in this country - that's the working class. And it's time we have politics that puts them at the heart of what it is that we're pursuing, and not as part of the appendix."
"We're seeing the kind of progress we were told was impossible. We're already speeding up buses for more than a million New Yorkers, putting six minutes back in their pockets, while working with Albany to make buses free."
"We're doing all of it while also accomplishing the same thing that we said we would do, before even affordability, which is public safety, and that is a key part of our agenda."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani believes democratic socialism can succeed nationwide, emphasizing the working class as the primary political majority. In his first 100 days, he has made strides in fulfilling campaign promises, such as expanding free child care and creating a city-run grocery store. However, some initiatives like a rent freeze and free city buses are still pending. Mamdani expresses pride in the progress made, including efforts to improve public safety and transportation efficiency for New Yorkers.
