Zohran Mamdani, a 34‑year‑old Democrat of Indian origin born in Uganda, became New York City's first Muslim and first South Asian mayor after defeating former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in a record‑breaking election that drew over two million votes. Mamdani, who has lived in the United States since he was seven and became a naturalized citizen in 2018, has described himself as a democratic socialist and has been described as the youngest mayor in more than a century of city leadership.
If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival!
Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job.
We should pass no mail in voting. We should pass all the things that we want to pass make our election secure and safe.
Trump wasn't on the ballot, and shutdown, were the two reasons that Republicans lost elections tonight, according to pollsters.
He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he's not very smart.
Zohran Mamdani's election cements the Democrat Party's transformation to a radical, big-government socialist party.
New Yorkers are facing twin crises at this moment. An authoritarian administration and an affordability crisis.
City Hall will stand steadfast with Jewish New Yorkers in fighting the scourge of antisemitism.
If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him.
We are breathing in the air of a city that has been reborn.
It's for all of you... more that 100,000 volunteers who built this campaign into an unstoppable force. Because of you, we will make this city one that working people can love and live in again.
My sole purpose when I wake up every morning will be to make this city better for you than it was the day before.
Without the night shift, there is no morning.
I am Muslim, I am a democratic socialist and, most damning of all, I refuse to apologise for any of this.
When we enter city hall in 58 days, expectations will be high. We will meet them.
No more will New York be a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia and win an election.
We won because New Yorkers allowed themselves to hope that the impossible could be made possible.
For as long as we can remember, the working people of New York have been told by the wealthy and the well-connected that power does not belong in their hands, fingers bruised from lifting boxes on the warehouse floor, palms calloused from delivery bike handle bars, knuckles scarred with kitchen burns. These are not hands that have been allowed to hold power.
New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, led by an immigrant. If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.
Standing before you, I think of the words of Jawaharlal Nehru: 'A moment comes, but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance.' Tonight, we have stepped out from the old into the new.
Tonight was their night. Our city is the greatest city in the world and we will unite for New York City because we love New York City.
We've still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
A moment comes but rarely in history when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance. Tonight, New York has done just that.
It's a big encouragement even to us here in Uganda that it's possible.
From Uganda, we celebrate and draw strength from your example as we work to build a country where every citizen can realise their grandest dreams regardless of means and background.
A lot of young people who identify with that label are seeking doses of socialism within capitalism.
That distinction between progressives and democratic socialism isn't about purity, it's not about moral superiority. It's about how deep the problems of inequality run, and therefore how deep the solution has to go.
I think beyond that, for me, socialism has to do not just with welfare and distribution of wealth, but also has to do with power and questions of ownership.
To be a democratic socialist is to go further than a progressive and say that true democracy can't coexist with concentrated economic power.
They want the state to help make housing more affordable. They want the state to provide universal health insurance. They want it to provide more of the kind of social safety net programs that would make life a lot better for poor and working class people in the U.S.
