3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rev. Al Sharpton, civil rights leader:
"Wherever we go, and we, the ministers is going to meet with them, Spike (Lee), and I have not made endorsements, but wherever we go, we should give credit that this man has energized our young voters, has brought in new voters, and has made this city have to deal with some issues that it didn’t wanna deal with, and that we all are to thank him for and listen to what he has to say, and what others have to say, and choose the right one."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Zohran Mamdani, (D) mayoral candidate, New York:
"And I think about Psalm 35. Which tells us weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. And it has been night for far too long in this city. It has been night for the one in four New Yorkers who live in poverty. It has be night for the 500,000 children who go to sleep hungry every single day. It has been night for a woman I met on the BX33 who told me, I used to love New York. Now it’s just where I live. It has been night for the people who made this city what it is."
6. Sharpton and Mamdani on stage
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Zohran Mamdani, (D) mayoral candidate, New York:
"There have been many a question as to whether this city will simply become a museum of a place that once was. A museum of where working people could thrive. But what 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."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Zohran Mamdani, (D) mayoral candidate, New York:
"And what 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. It was a victory of a politics that moved beyond the past and the present and into the future. A politics that every single New Yorker could see themselves and their struggles in. And as we now wait for the final results, although as Reverend Sharpton said, we already know what they will be, we have to ask ourselves a question: What does morning look like in this city? And that must be a morning for every single New Yorker."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Zohran Mamdani, (D) mayoral candidate, New York:
"It is a morning that must bring the New Yorkers who are on the margins of our city into the mainstream of our politics. That is the morning that we will bring.
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Rev. Al Sharpton, civil rights leader:
"He could have went the other way and said, it’s me against them. But he came this morning and he proclaimed something. And I give him a lot of credit."

STORYLINE:
Zohran Mamdani spoke at a rally in Harlem on Saturday as he sought to build on momentum from New York City’s Democratic primary, telling the crowd that people struggling to pay for housing, groceries and bus fare are hungry for change.
Mamdani appeared at a National Action Network rally days after declaring victory over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the presumed favorite in the primary. Results will be finalized after the city’s ranked choice vote-counting resumes Tuesday.
“He could have went the other way and say, ‘It’s me against them.’ But he came this morning and he proclaimed something. And I gave him a lot of credit for that,” Sharpton said.
