Mayor Mamdani tells graduates at Rikers Island “there will always be a place for you in NYC.” “If today is proof of anything, it is that you have the power to move your life forward, even when everything feels like it is pulling you backwards.”

In response to this from Mike Johnson, Mamdani congratulates Abdul El-Sayed for his MI victory. He said he’s spoken with El-Sayed a “few” times over the past several years. “He can lift a lot more than I can,” he says. “I don't think in any way this man is a mini-Mamdani.”
