Reactions to Mamdani’s surprising victory in the American elections

According to RCO News Agency, 34-year-old Zahran Mamdani has won the New York mayoral election and will be the first Muslim mayor of the largest city in the United States. The democratic socialist was relatively unknown until a few months ago and won on promises to tax millionaires to fund broader social programs.

Mamdani said in his victory speech in which he explained his policies and challenged US President Donald Trump: “In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light. “We have overthrown a long-standing political dynasty and the future is now in our hands.”

In his victory speech, he directly addressed Donald Trump, after which Trump responded to his speech by saying, “And so it begins!”

Donald Trump In a cryptic message on Truth Social, he wrote: “…and this is how it begins!”

He also wrote in response to the results of the American mayoral and gubernatorial elections: “The fact that Trump’s name was not on the ballot and the shutdown of the federal government were the two factors that caused the Republicans to lose in tonight’s election.”

The timing of these words seems to have coincided with the moment Mamdani directly addressed Trump in his victory speech. The mayor-elect was unflinching in his condemnation of Trump, who has threatened to cut the city’s budget if the “communist” Mamdani wins. In a last-minute effort to keep Mamdani out of City Hall, Trump backed Cuomo, a former Democratic governor who was once his nemesis.

“Hear me when I say this,” Mamdani told the US president. “To reach each of us, you have to go through all of us.”

Bernie Sanders He again announced his support for Mamdani.

The independent senator from Vermont, who grew up in Brooklyn, expressed his joy at Mamdani’s victory. Sanders, who endorsed the democratic socialist in June, wrote on Platform X: “After starting at 1 percent in the polls, Mamdani has pulled off one of the biggest political surprises in modern American history.”

Senator Sanders added: “We can build a government that represents working people, not the one percent. I look forward to working with Zahran as he builds a city that benefits everyone.”

on the other side, Consul General of the Zionist regime in New York And former Likud minister Zahran Mamdani described him as “a clear and immediate danger to the New York Jewish community.” According to him, Mamdani is considered a “danger” because of his support for the pro-Palestinian demonstrations in this city.

The Israeli Consul General claimed that Mamdani was allowing “pro-terrorist demonstrators, falsely labeled here as pro-Palestinian,” to demonstrate and “riot” in the streets of New York.

Also Minister of Jewish Affairs outside the Occupied Palestinian Territories He said that the election of Zahran Mamdani as the mayor of New York is a global event, not just an American event.

“Israel is not necessarily the main reason New York Jews voted for Zahran Mamdani,” he pointed out.
