Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani used part of his first speech after his win in the New York City mayoral race to take a pointed shot at Republican President Donald Trump.

Mamdani said, "So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up!"

H is crowd of supporters gathered in Brooklyn roared in applause.

New York City is Trump’s hometown, but he remains deeply unpopular in the Democratic stronghold. His frequent warnings that the city would fall into ruin if Mamdani, 34, were elected mayor may have tightened the race slightly. But Trump’s last-minute endorsement of independent candidate and former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo — who resigned four years ago amid scandal — didn't pay off for the president.
