** ‘Hope Is Alive!’ Mamdani Victory in NYC Seen as Historic Turning Point
------------------------------------------------------------

Zohran Mamdani was elected the next mayor of New York City on Tuesday in a victory he and his supporters say reflects the hope of a city—and a nation—ready for a new kind of politics that puts the needs of working people at the center after decades of failed leadership that put corporate interests and the desires of the wealthiest first.

“Hope is alive,” declared Mamdani in his victory speech.

“While we cast our ballots alone, we chose hope together,” said Mamdani. “Hope over tyranny. Hope over big money and small ideas. Hope over despair. We won because New Yorkers allowed themselves to hope that the impossible could be made possible. And we won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us. Now, it is something that we do.”
