In his first speech as the next mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani made clear he and his city are coming for President Donald Trump.

"If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him," Mamdani said at his victory speech in Brooklyn Tuesday night. "And if there's any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power."

"So Donald Trump," he added, "since I know you're watching — I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

The crowd responded with the raucous cheers that Mamdani no doubt hoped Trump would hear.
