"On the evening of Nov. 4, when the world learns that we have won again, they will know our answer to the question, we choose the future, because for all of those who say our time is coming, my friends, I say our time is now, Mamdani told the cheering crowd at the United Palace theater on 175th Street and Broadway."
"The democratic socialist delivered a fiery 20-minute speech that mostly looked past the Nov. 4 general election, suggesting a likely victory over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa as a foregone conclusion."
"Mamdani told the crowd that it was time to move beyond the current political status quo, which he characterized as prioritizing the interests of the wealthy and corporations over those of working New Yorkers."
Zohran Mamdani addressed 3,000 supporters at the United Palace in Washington Heights, urging New Yorkers to leave the status quo behind. He delivered a fiery 20-minute speech that largely looked past the Nov. 4 general election and suggested victory over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa was likely. Polling showed Mamdani with a double-digit lead over Cuomo and Sliwa trailing in third, even after Mayor Eric Adams exited the race. Mamdani framed his message as a choice for the future and argued the political status quo prioritizes wealthy interests and corporations over working New Yorkers. The event featured emcee Gianmarco Soresi and speakers including Chi Osse, Nydia Velazquez, and Letitia James.
