full speech mamdani thanks supporters after projected new york city

The sun may have set over our city this evening, but as Eugene Debs once said, “I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity.” For as long as we can remember, the working people of New York have been told by the wealthy and the well connected that power does not belong in their hands. Fingers bruised from lifting boxes on the warehouse floor, palms calloused from delivery by handlebars, knuckles scarred with kitchen burns — these are not hands that have been allowed to hold power. And yet, over the last 12 months, you have dared to reach for something greater. Tonight. Against all odds, we have grasped it.

The future is in our hands. My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York election after the highest turnout for a mayoral contest in more than 50 years. He used his first speech to take a shot at U.S. President Donald Trump and celebrated "toppling a political dynasty" - here is everything he said in full. Thank you, my friends.

Updated on: November 5, 2025 / 6:53 AM EST / CBS New York Democrat Zohran Mamdani addressed his supporters Tuesday night after he was projected the winner of the 2025 New York City mayoral election.

CBS News made the projection just after 9:30 p.m. with about 60% of the vote counted. With 91% of the vote counted as of 12:25 a.m. Wednesday, Mamdani had 50.4% of the vote, followed by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo at 41.6%. Mamdani's campaign expected more than 2,000 people to gather for its Election Night watch party in Brooklyn.

New York Attorney General Letitia James and New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams were among those in the crowd. Mamdani's supporters could be heard cheering as news of his projected win broke. Mamdani opened his speech with a quote by American socialist Eugene Debs. The leading source of global news and info for more than 75 years. If you open a classic KJV Bible to Psalm 92:10 or Job 39:9, you will see the word "Unicorn." Is the Bible a book of fairy tales? Did mythical creatures actually exist in ancient Israel?

Critics mock believers for this. But the mystery lies in a translation error from 1611. Imagine the opening day of the Tabernacle. Everyone is celebrating. Then, Aaron's two sons, Nadab and Abihu, offer incense to God. Suddenly, fire shoots out from the Lord and consumes them.

They die instantly in front of their father. We've all heard the sermon: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven." Growing up, I was told that the... It’s a beautiful picture of humility, right? Christmas miracles, sure. But is there such a thing as a Christmas Eve miracle? After Wednesday night's Powerball drawing, one winner probably believes in them.

A lucky person who bought a ticket at a Murphy USA gas station in Cabot, Arkansas, northeast of Little Rock, will take home a whopping $1.817 billion Powerball jackpot, which has a cash option... Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani has been elected the Mayor of New York City. Mamdani, a member of the New York State Assembly for the Astoria district of Queens, beat out former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo — who ran as an independent after losing the Democratic primary — and Republican Curtis Sliwa. The race was called for Mamdani by the Associated Press around an hour after polls closed on Tuesday night. Mamdani soon addressed supporters at Brooklyn Paramount, a music venue in downtown Brooklyn.
