Zohran Mamdani’s speech after historic win:
In his victory speech, delivered on the night of his election, the 34-year-old Democrat invoked Nehru.
"Tonight, against all odds, we have grasped it. The future is in our hands. My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty."
He continued, “I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life. But let tonight be the final time I utter his name, as we turn the page on a politics that abandons the many and answers only to the few. New York, tonight you have delivered. A mandate for change. A mandate for a new kind of politics. A mandate for a city we can afford. And a mandate for a government that delivers exactly that.”
