New York Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani (D) on Tuesday spoke to a packed crowd at the Brooklyn Paramount Theater after a sizable win over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (I) and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mamdani said his audience was composed of progressive working-class voters, immigrants, and people of color who \u201ccannot recognize themselves\u201d within the Democratic party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the New York City mayor-elect added that politics in the Big Apple would soon change to better reflect the needs of the people it serves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis new age will be defined by a competence and the compassion that have too long been placed at odds with one another. We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about,\u201d he told supporters during his victory speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor years, those in City Hall have only helped those who can help them, but on January 1, we will usher in a city government that helps everyone,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mamdani managed to mobilize more than 100,000 volunteers to knock on over 3 million homes in 273 New York neighborhoods while campaigning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ground-zero canvassing effort pulsed through the city, sending shockwaves to traditionalist politicians who slammed his plans of creating city-run grocery stores, free childcare and free transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, Mamdani said his administration will chart the \u201cmost ambitious agenda to tackle the cost of living crisis,\u201d invoking socialist predecessors Eugene Debs and Fiorello Henry La Guardia in his acceptance speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will stand alongside unions and expand labor protections because we know just as Donald Trump does, that when working people have ironclad rights, the bosses who seek to extort them become very small,\u201d the Democratic socialist promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIndeed, New York will remain a city of immigrants. A city built by immigrants, a city powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, a city led by an immigrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo hear me, President Trump, when I say this, to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amid the White House\u2019s increased immigration raids, Mamdani has railed against removals and promised to do so while in office with an iron fist, pointing to the strength of his base at the polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you to those so often forgotten by the politics of our city who made this movement their own. I speak of Yemeni Bodega owners and Mexican abuelas, Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses, Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties, yes aunties,\u201d he told supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo every New Yorker in Kensington and Midwood and Hunts Point, know this city is your city, and this democracy is yours too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
