Zohran Mamdani gives victory speech after projected New York City mayoral win

On Wednesday, Zohran Mamdani, New York City's mayor-elect, secured a landslide victory, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
Running as a democratic socialist, Mamdani campaigned on an affordability platform including free buses, rent freezes and universal child care, rising from a little-known state assemblyman through grassroots organising.
Addressing supporters in Brooklyn, Mamdani said, `So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up!` and pledged to confront corruption while thanking filmmaker Mira Nair and closing with 'Dhoom Machale'.
The Trump administration's prior funding moves and Trump posted on Truth Social: '... AND SO IT BEGINS!' in response to Mamdani's victory, raising political risks.
With more than 2 million New Yorkers voting, Democratic organisers plan to link candidates to Zohran Mamdani ahead of the midterms next year, energising Democrats nationwide as a new progressive force.
