Most importantly, I want to congratulate Zahran Mamnani for his extraordinary victory in the New York City mayor's race. As some of you may know or may not know, Ziran started his campaign for mayor being at 1% in the polls, and last night he won with a significant vote. In my view, that journey from 1% to becoming mayor of the city of New York, taking on the oligarchs who spent a whole lot of money trying to defeat him, taking on the Republican establishment.
