And Mamdani added, marking the path for non-socialist democrats: "It is not enough for us, as democrats, to come to power. We have to use that power to bring about a change that Americans can see in their pockets. If we look at these campaigns, for example, James Talarico [new senator from Texas] based his campaign on universal childcare. And if we talk about Keisha Lance Bottoms [new governor of Georgia], she based her campaign on reducing bureaucracy to build housing. If we talk about Jocelyn Benson [new governor of Michigan], she based her campaign on a moratorium for data centers. What excites me to see now is that it is recognized that the work has only just begun and that all of this needs to be made real for workers across the country." #DemocratasProgresistas #Elections2026 #CambioSocial (translated)
