00:00In the United States, the Democrat Soran Mamdani has been elected as the major of New York City.
00:06In this context, the first results and projections suggest a poor electoral night for Donald Trump.
00:13After this victory, the Democratic politician promises to freeze rent, guarantee free transport and childcare
00:20amid the high cost of living as well as showing his support for the Palestinian cause.
00:25According to the Associated Press survey, Mamdani won the elections with 50.6% of the votes against the other candidates.
00:35Former Democrat Governor of New York State and now independent contender Andrew Cuomo was left behind with 41.3%
00:44and the Republican candidate and founder of the Guardian Angels' Citizen Crime Patrol group, Curtis C. Williwa, with 7.4% of the votes.

01:07Let's see some details from Soran Kawame Mamdani.
01:12He is a 34-year-old New York State Assembly member, born in Uganda and raised in New York, the self-described Democratic Socialist.
01:21Mamdani was elected from the 36th District, representing Astoria Queens in the 2020 New York State Assembly election.
01:31Its campaign platform is centered on an ambitious, progressive policy agenda aimed at redistributing wealth, expanding public services and transforming urban life.
01:41Besides his support for the Palestinian cause that has made him a target for Islamophobic attacks, Mamdani's pitch is emphatically local
01:51and his campaign has downplayed national culture, wars and foreign policy to keep focused on day-to-day city services.
02:00Polls show that the Democrat Mamdani was a commanding lead of 49.6% in most recent survey.
