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.

Mamdani said his audience was composed of progressive working-class voters, immigrants, and people of color who “cannot recognize themselves” within the Democratic party.

“Indeed, 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.

“So hear me, President Trump, when I say this, to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us,” he added.

Amid the White House’s 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.

“Thank 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,” he told supporters.

“To every New Yorker in Kensington and Midwood and Hunts Point, know this city is your city, and this democracy is yours too.”
