Today, we have learned what New Yorkers have long suspected, that Andrew Cuomo is Donald Trump’s choice to be the next mayor of this city.

We are talking about a mayor who was facing an indictment that was then dropped by this administration to ensure greater collaboration with the immigration directives of this administration now being considered for a job offer.

None of this has to do with New Yorkers.

None of it has to do with the welfare of this city. It all has to do with power.

billionaires should not exist.

You can’t serve a city, you can’t fight for a city, if you don’t love that city.

I look forward to being your next mayor, next year.

It is such a pleasure to be here, and I want to say thank you to the organizers for celebrating what makes this community beautiful.

I found that it created far more safety than what the current administration has done.

So I have said time and again, my focus is on the outcomes of public safety.

What I want to do is look at the ways in which the previous administration addressed this issue.

And what we have seen from this current administration is a theater, one that repeats itself every so often.
