It was not just a victory tonight for the Democratic Party. It was a victory for the United States of America, for the people of this country, the principles that our Founding Fathers lived and died for.

Former mayors
These things together raise about $9 billion, which more than pays for the economic agenda and also starts to Trump-proof our city.
If it was safety, President Trump would be threatening to deploy the National Guard to the top 10 states of crime, eight out of which are all Republican-led.
This has nothing to do a safety, it has to do with intimidation.
This victory shows that change is possible
You have delivered a mandate for a new kind of politics, a mandate for a city we can afford and a mandate for a government that delivers exactly that.
We will stand alongside unions and expand labor protections because we know – just as Donald Trump does – that when working people have ironclad rights, the bosses who seek to extort them become very small indeed.
This is not only how we stop Trump ‒ it’s how we stop the next one. So, Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up.
So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: turn the volume up.
If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.
The MAGA movement's embrace of Andrew Cuomo is reflective of Donald Trump's understanding that this would be the best mayor for him.
So, hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.
New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant.
Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up!
That same spirit will animate this transition, and the city hall we built because New Yorkers deserve a government that they can trust.
Throughout this campaign, I have worked hard to be accessible and transparent with New Yorkers
