Big-City Mayors

If we do not allow ourselves to be shocked by this kind of racism, then we are, in fact, accepting it as a fact of life.

It was, in fact, a reflection of Islamophobia within our political system that has become so endemic.

It’s a politics of division.

Whether it’s JD Vance or it’s Andrew Cuomo, it is the same kind of politics.

Cheap jokes about Islamophobia, so as to not have to recognize what people are living through.

This is all the Republican Party has to offer.

I find the comments that Hasan made on 9/11 to be objectionable and reprehensible.

I want to speak to the memory of my aunt, who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab.

I think the biggest challenge for anyone who runs for any office is people see right through you.

[Trump's] presidency de facto ends, if we are successful, we the people are successful, in taking back the House.

I think it's about our democracy.

I mean, Andrew Cuomo has disqualified himself in so many ways, including morally, and that’s just one of many reasons why I think so many New Yorkers are going to vote for Mamdani.

I don’t live in New York, but I think he has the capacity to be a great mayor.

I'm going to be voting on Election Day. And my message to early voters, of which I've already met a number, is that this is our opportunity, it continues to be.

That’s because of the fact of my faith and because I’m on the precipice of winning this election.
