From New York, this is Democracy Now. The sun may have set over our city this evening, but as Eugene Debs once said, I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity.

After running an historic campaign focused on affordability,

Zoran Mamdani has defeated Andrew Cuomo in the New York mayoral race. The 34-year-old Democratic

Socialist will become New York's first Muslim and first South Asian mayor and the youngest

in a century. In his victory speech Tuesday night, Mamdani sent a defiant message to President

Trump. So hear message to President Trump.

So hear me, President Trump, when I say this, to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.

We'll air excerpts of Mamdani's speech and hear from Congresswoman Alexandra Cassio-Cortez, the writer Naomi

Klein, and others who attended Mamdani's Pact Victory Party.

Plus, we look at how Democrats scored major victories, including in California, Virginia,

New Jersey and Pennsylvania in what's being described as a repudiation of the Trump

agenda.

All that and more coming up.

Welcome to Democracy Now, Democracy Now.org, the War and Peace Report.

I'm Amy Goodman.

Democratic Socialists, Zohan Mahmdani, was elected New York's mayor Tuesday,

becoming the first person of South Asian descent and the first Muslim,

and the youngest and over a century to hold a position.

The election was marked by record voter turnout.

Mamdani got more than a million votes,

more than any mayor, since the 1960s. President Trump had threatened to withhold funding from New York City if Mamdani won. On election day, Trump even posted any Jewish person who votes

for Mamdani is stupid. Last night at his victory party in votes for Mamdani is stupid.
