00:00New York will remain a city of immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant.

00:11I want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims of New York City.

00:16I want to speak to the memory of my aunt, who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab.

00:25I want to speak to the Muslim who works for our city.

00:27Whether they teach in our schools or walk the beat for the NYPD, New Yorkers who all make daily sacrifices for the city they call home,

00:38only to see their leaders spit in their face.

00:41I want to speak to every child who grows up here, marked as the other,

00:46who is randomly selected in a way that never quite feels random,

00:50who feels that they carry a stain that can never be cleaned.

00:54Growing up in the shadow of 9-11, I have known what it means to live with an undercurrent of suspicion in this city.

01:00I will always remember the disdain that I faced, the way that my name could immediately become Muhammad,

01:07and how I could return to my city only to be asked in a double-mirrored room at the airport if I had any plan on attacking it.

01:15The dream of every Muslim is simply be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

01:20As Trump goes after his political foes, including Attorney General James,

01:25as his masked ICE agents abduct our immigrant neighbors at 26 Federal Plaza, just a few blocks from here,

01:33and as New Yorkers in every borough contend with an affordability crisis that he promised to fix but has only exacerbated,

01:42let City Hall, with our compassion, our conviction, and our clarity,

01:48be the light that our city and our nation so desperately need.

01:52Donald Trump just put out a statement encouraging New Yorkers, saying they must vote for Andrew Cuomo.

02:01We know and have known for months that Donald Trump would favor Andrew Cuomo as the mayor.

02:13They share the same donors.

02:15They share the same small vision.

02:17They share the same sense of impunity.

02:19And yet, in these final days, what was rumored, what was feared, has become naked and unabashed.

02:27The MAGA movement's embrace of Andrew Cuomo is reflective of Donald Trump's understanding that this would be the best mayor for him.

02:36Not the best mayor for New York City.

02:40Not the best mayor for New Yorkers.

02:41But the best mayor for Donald Trump is his administration.

02:44New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants,

02:54and as of tonight, led by an immigrant.
