Mamdani: 'What we need is an approach to leadership that understands partnership at the core of it'

Published September 8, 2025 | Video Starts at 14:53

I am not concerned about a head to head matchup with Andrew Cuomo. You know, for months in the primary, he said his dream opponent was me, and then We defeated [Andrew Cuomo] by 13 points with the most votes any primary winner has ever received in the history of the city. We will do the same thing again in November. What I am concerned about, however, is Donald Trump's interference with this race. (14:53–14:59)
