New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani stated on "Good Morning America" that he will not be intimidated by President Donald Trump's threats to deploy the National Guard to the city. "His threats are inevitable," Mamdani said. He emphasized that the issue is not about safety but rather about intimidation.

Mamdani pointed out, "If it was safety, President Trump would be threatening to deploy the National Guard to the top 10 states of crime, eight out of which are all Republican-led. But because of that party, he won't actually be doing it."

The 34-year-old democratic socialist won his election amid a record voter turnout in New York City. Over 2 million voters participated in the election, marking the first time since 1969 that mayoral election turnout surpassed that number.

Mamdani will make history as the youngest mayor of New York City since 1892 and the first Muslim to hold the office. This story is still developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
