My concern is to start to walk down the line of language and making clear what language I believe is permissible or impermissible takes me into a place similar to that of the president.

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 country.

Trump wants to distract from what I’m fighting for. And I’m fighting for the very working people that he ran a campaign to empower, that he has since then betrayed.

For too long, politicians have pretended to simply be bystanders to a cost of living crisis. They’ve actually exacerbated it.

We can beat anyone that’s in this race because what we’ve shown is that this is a campaign that has the support of more than 400,000 New Yorkers.

The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested.

Politics in this city won't ever be the same, and it's all thanks to you.

We rewrote the rule book by, get this, talking to New Yorkers.

We ran a campaign that tried to talk to every New Yorker, whether I could speak their languages or just tried to... and the coalition that came out on Tuesday, reflected the mosaic of these five boroughs.

Not to lecture, but to listen.

The goal, in Mamdani's words, was nothing short of rebuilding a coalition that had frayed over years of disappointment and neglect, to win people back to a Democratic Party that puts working people first.

A Green New Deal will not come from oligarchical guilt but from mass movements.

Last Tuesday, Democrats spoke in a clear voice, delivering a mandate for an affordable city, a politics of the future, and a leader unafraid to fight back against rising authoritarianism.

This is just the beginning of our expanding coalition to make New York City affordable.

His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you.

A just and lasting peace can only begin by ending the occupation and dismantling apartheid

I don’t think that we should have billionaires.

Call it democracy, call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth for all God’s children within this country.

I already have to get used to the fact that the president is going to talk about how I look, how I sound, where I’m from, who I am — ultimately because he wants to distract from what I’m fighting for.

I don’t think that we should have billionaires, because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality.

I just want to say welcome home, Khalil.

How many more New Yorkers [will you detain] without charge?

Those days are going to come to an end when I’m the mayor.

We have to stand up and fight back, and we haven’t seen that from our current mayor.

Absolutely. Because ultimately, we’ve seen that this is a policy that has kept New Yorkers safe for decades.
