Zohran Mamdani addressed a rally in Harlem, building on his recent primary victory against former Governor Andrew Cuomo. He emphasized the plight of New Yorkers battling high living costs, stating that his win represented a shift towards a more affordable city. Despite criticism for losing support in some neighborhoods, Mamdani advocated for unity and change. Rev. Al Sharpton acknowledged Mamdani's courage to engage with the community, highlighting the importance of listening to constituents as the city prepares for the upcoming election, where the chosen Democratic candidate will face the current mayor and other challengers.
"What our victory showed on election night was less a victory between one man and another, but a victory for a city that New Yorkers can afford."
"He could have went the other way and said, 'It's me against them.' But he came this morning and he proclaimed something. And I gave him a lot of credit for that."
