Mamdani says he won’t back down from tangling with Trump, but seeks to work with him on affordability

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on November 6, 2025

During his victory speech Tuesday night, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani directly addressed Donald Trump and told him to “turn the volume up” on his TV as he outlined how he would push back against the president’s threats to defund the city and meddle in his administration.

“We will put an end to the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks,” the mayor-elect said. “New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant. So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”
