Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani announced his victory in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, challenging former governor Andrew Cuomo in a stunning upset. As a 33-year-old democratic socialist, Mamdani is set to be the party's nominee, emphasizing a campaign focused on economic justice and social equity. His victory speech highlighted a vision of a fair city where hard work is rewarded, advocating for affordable living and a government that protects the dignity of all residents. He also condemned Donald Trump's policies, pledging to resist fascism and prioritizing the needs of working people.
In a soaring speech, Mamdani cast his campaign as the beginning of a broader movement: We have won from Harlem to Bay Ridge from Jackson Heights to Port Richmond.
Mamdani emphasized that a life of dignity should not be reserved for a fortunate few, stating that city government should guarantee this for every New Yorker.
