In a fiery speech after his win, the next mayor of New York warned Trump that the city will stand united: "To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."
Jewish leaders had a mixed reaction to the election of Zohran Mamdani, who has repeatedly criticized Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and its conduct during the war in Gaza.

Zohran Mamdani, in his victory speech, celebrated New York’s immigrants, working class and young people and said the city could show the country how to defeat President Trump.
