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

Equal parts capable and compassionate

The hard work of improving New Yorkers’ lives starts now

The poetry of campaigning may have come to a close last night at 9, but the beautiful prose of governing has only just begun

My friends, tonight we have toppled a political dynasty.

The future is in our hands

I look forward to having those conversations and to making clear that if there is ever anything to be spoken about that could benefit the people of the city, I am ready and willing to speak to anyone about it.

I am interested in having a conversation with President Trump on the ways in which we can work together to serve New Yorkers.

There were a few months ago where I told supporters across the city to stop donating, and today I am asking them to start once again.

We will cast a wide net.

We can be free and we can be fair. We can demand what we deserve and together we have built a movement where everyday New Yorkers recognize themselves in our vision of democracy.

For too long, New Yorkers have strained to find a leader who represents us, who puts us first, and we have been betrayed time and again.

I cannot promise that you will always agree with me, but I will never hide from you. If you are hurting, I will try to heal. If you feel misunderstood, I will strive to understand.

I will be the mayor for every New Yorker, whether you voted for me, for Governor Cuomo or felt too disillusioned by a long-broken political system to vote at all.

Tonight, we made history. In the words of Nelson Mandela, 'It always seems impossible until it is done.' My friends, we have done it. I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City.

I call myself a democratic socialist, in many ways inspired by the words of Dr. King from decades ago. ‘Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, there has to be a better distribution of wealth for all of God’s children in this…

I continue to be confident, but I never let that confidence become complacency.
