Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani addressed a crowd of 3,000 supporters at a campaign rally in Washington Heights on Monday night, encouraging New Yorkers to leave the status quo behind.

The democratic socialist delivered a fiery 20-minute speech that mostly looked past the Nov. 4 general election, suggesting a likely victory over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa as a foregone conclusion. Mamdani holds a double-digit lead over Cuomo in the polls, with Sliwa in a distant third, even after the current Mayor, Eric Adams, bowed out of the race late last month.
