'New York will be the light': Zohran Mamdani vows city will lead the Trump opposition In a fiery speech after his win, the next mayor of New York warned Trump that the city will stand united: "To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

Big things are happening…

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

His politics can win anywhere.
