Zohran Mamdani: “More than 545,000 New Yorkers gave us a mandate to make this…”

“It is an honor for this campaign, and it is an honor for this movement to finally make the city affordable. And we stand here today with these endorsements, reflecting on the results of yesterday, results where we saw that More than 545,000 New Yorkers gave us a mandate to make this city affordable. And I say the word mandate because this was the most votes any movement has received in 36 years in mayoral elections. A a mandate because we won this election by 12 points after just three rounds.” (01:30–01:37)
