Zohran Mamdani<\/a> spoke at a rally in Harlem on Saturday as he sought to build on momentum from New York City\u2019s Democratic primary, telling the crowd that people struggling to pay for housing, groceries and bus fare are hungry for change.<\/p>\n

Mamdani appeared at a National Action Network rally days after declaring victory<\/a> over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo<\/a>, the presumed favorite in the primary. Results will be finalized after the city\u2019s ranked choice vote-counting<\/a> resumes Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat our victory showed on election night was less a victory between one man and another, but a victory for a city that New Yorkers can afford,\u201d Mamdani said at a rally attended by Black clergy and filmmaker Spike Lee<\/p>\n

The Rev. Al Sharpton, the influential leader of the network, praised Mamdani for coming to the rally, despite reports that he lost some of the city\u2019s most solidly Black neighborhoods in the primary.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe could have went the other way and said, \u2018It\u2019s me against them.\u2019 But he came this morning and he proclaimed something. And I gave him a lot of credit for that,\u201d Sharpton said.<\/p>\n

The winner of the Democratic primary advances to November\u2019s election.<\/p>\n

Mayor Eric Adams is running for reelection as an independent candidate. Curtis Sliwa, the founder of the crime-fighting Guardian Angels, is running as a Republican. Cuomo, who has conceded defeat in the primary, also could run as an independent candidate.<\/p>\n

In Harlem, the 33-year-old state lawmaker stuck to a cost-of-living theme that skyrocketed him to political stardom, weaving in quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.<\/a>, the Bible and the city’s first Black mayor, David Dinkins.<\/p>\n

He said people question whether the city will become \u201ca museum\u201d of a place where working people could once thrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we have seen in the last two weeks is a hunger from New Yorkers to move beyond the days of museums and relics and make this city a living, breathing testament to what is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
