Mamdani says NY victory shows way to 'defeat' Trump

New York's mayor elect said Tuesday that his decisive victory shows a way to defeat US President Donald Trump, who has been a fierce critic of the young Muslim's Democratic socialist policies.

"If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him," Zohran Mamdani said in a victory speech to supporters.

"In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light."
