Mamdani’s Victory Speech: Trolling Trump’s Loss and Inspiring Hope
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani delivered a powerful victory speech, sharply criticizing former President Donald Trump, whom he labeled a “despot” and aimed to dismantle the conditions that allowed him to accumulate wealth and power. Mamdani, who will be the city’s first Muslim mayor, directly addressed Trump and vowed to challenge the “billionaire class” and ensure New York City becomes a more affordable place to live, while taking on bad landlords and promoting labor protections. The mayor-elect highlighted his immigrant background and his commitment to the city’s immigrant population.
