I want you all to remember that in New York City, a guy named Zahran Mamdani started his campaign at 1% in the polls. He had the whole Democratic establishment against them. He had the President of the United States against him. He had the Republican establishment, he had all the big money interest in New York against him. And you know what? He beat him. He beat him because he mobilized at the grassroots level. (07:24–07:27)
