Mamdani's address: Today 'begins a new era'
In his inaugural address, Mamdani said that today “begins a new era” for New York City.
He name-dropped a host of working-class communities and residents, from those driving taxi cabs to serving food out of halal carts.
“I know there are some who view this administration with distrust and disdain,” he said. “Or who see politics as permanently broken, and while only action can change minds, I promise you this: If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor. Regardless of whether we agree, I will protect you. Celebrate with you, mourn alongside you and never, not for a second, hide from you.”
