The ‘No Kings’ rally in New York City’s Times Square on Saturday attracted a crowd of activists who are backing Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for mayor. Participants told Fox News Digital that they are voting for Mamdani as a rejection of traditional political power structures, emphasizing his focus on community-driven governance and social equity.
Mamdani, a Brooklyn City Council member and member of the Democratic Socialists of America, has positioned himself as an alternative to the city’s political establishment. His campaign highlights issues such as affordable housing, police reform, and labor rights, resonating with a segment of the electorate disillusioned with mainstream politics.
Attendees at the rally described the event as a platform to voice frustration with the city’s leadership and to rally support for Mamdani. The rally, organized by grassroots groups, aimed to galvanize voters ahead of the upcoming mayoral election, which is seen as a critical moment in shaping New York City’s political landscape.
