In the words of Nelson Mandela, it always seems impossible until it is done. My friends, we have done it. I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City. An hour ago, I spoke with Andrew Cuomo about the need to bring this city together, as he called me to concede the race. And I want to thank Brad Lander, who did exactly that. Together, we have shown the power of the politics of the future. One one of partnership and of sincerity. (00:51–00:59)
