There is this sense of we need some change now. His election touched a nerve. People said, you know what, we're just not getting ahead.
We'll continue to work with whomever the voters want me to, and I'll make it work because I'm not going to go to war with the 8 million residents of New York.
We still have many differences. I don't know how you whitewash that away, but there's areas of alignment, including affordability.
New Yorkers stand up for our rights. We do that. It's what we're hardwired to do. We're fighters.
