A year after his stunning primary victory that shocked New York’s political establishment, Zohran Mamdani reflects on how far his campaign has come. In a new video filmed on Fordham Road in the Bronx — the same place he visited days after the 2024 presidential election — Mamdani recalls the energy, hope, and uncertainty of that moment. Now, one year later, the mood has shifted. With polls showing him leading the New York City mayoral race, Mamdani says the fight for working-class New Yorkers is entering a new phase.

00:35Do you have 60 seconds to talk just about the election?
00:40How you guys doing?
00:41Do you guys want to talk about the election for a minute?
00:43How you doing, boss?
00:44How's it going, sir?
00:46Excuse me, ma'am.
00:47How you doing, boss?
00:48Why is it that you don't feel as confident today about Democratic candidates?
00:52Honestly, I lost faith.
00:54It felt like I was just choosing the greater of two evils and whatever was going to happen
00:57was going to happen.
00:58How you doing, boss?
01:01Walter.
01:02Walter, nice to meet you.
01:03Walter, did you get a chance to vote on Tuesday?
01:05I didn't vote.
01:06I want all my African people to vote for you.
01:08Thank you, my brother.
01:09Because I know with you, New York City will change.
01:12Thank you, my brother.
01:13I support you.
01:14One year ago, we were here talking to New Yorkers after Donald Trump won the presidential election.
01:18Did you get a chance to vote on Tuesday, Devin?
01:20I did, yes.
01:20And who did you vote for?
01:21Donald Trump.
01:22Trump.
01:22What was that?
01:23Trump.
01:23The million-dollar question, Trump.
01:26Honestly, I didn't vote.
01:27I did not get a chance to vote.
01:28But I didn't want to anyways.
01:29What we're finding today, is there are far more people excited about the possibility of
01:35politics in this city on the same street, where last year there were very few who were
01:39looking to have that conversation.
01:40What's going on, boss?
01:41What's going on, boss?
01:42You got my vote.
01:43How you doing?
01:44Yes, the big one.
01:45Let's go for him, yes.
01:47I'll vote for Scott.
01:49You are the best, bro.
01:50Thank you, bro.
01:51My friend is a big fan.
01:54How are you?
01:54It's time for a change.
01:56It's time for a change.
01:57Yes, ma'am.
01:58It's time for a change.
01:59Good to meet you.
02:00Thank you, guys.
02:02Thank you, my brother.
02:03I just got my C-Z shit.
02:04Hey, congratulations.
02:05Congratulations.
02:06That's amazing.
02:07You're the game changer.
02:08Thank you, my brother.
02:09Thank you, my God.
02:09My piece of paper.
02:11I vote for him yesterday.
02:12Oh, thank you, brother.
02:13Yeah, this is the man.
02:14The next man.
02:15We heard from them then that they were tired of a Democratic Party that thought too little
02:19of working class people across this country to offer them an affirmative vision.
02:23Why did you not vote?
02:24Because I don't believe in the system anymore.
02:26How are you doing, brother?
02:26How are you doing?
02:27Good to see you.
02:28How are you doing, man?
02:28So did you believe in it at one point?
02:30Yes.
02:30And what caused you to lose faith?
02:32Just the way things have been going now.
02:35It's hard on people now.
02:36Yo, let's go.
02:38How are you doing, man?
02:38I'm doing well.
02:40How are you?
02:40We are praying, God.
02:41Making people affect you.
02:43I hope you help us.
02:44I've been watching you.
02:46God bless you, brother.
02:49Thank you, brother.
02:50I love you.
02:51I appreciate you.
02:52I'm going to vote for you being my wife.

02:53I'm going to vote for you being my wife.
02:55Both of you hurt.
02:56You really hurt.
02:58I'm excited for you to be mayor, and I hope.
03:01No, actually, no.
03:02I know you're going to become mayor.
03:05Thank you for your job.
03:07I love you.
03:09Wow, I shot that.
03:10I actually want to introduce myself.
03:12My name is Zoran Mamdani.
03:14I'm going to be running for mayor next year.
03:16Wow.
03:16Yes, yes, sir.
03:18And I'm going to be running on that platform of making sure we keep the rent where it's
03:22at for rent-stabilized tenants, of making the buses free, making child care a reality.
03:27And it's a pleasure to be here.
03:29You're still going to see it.
