The US President was fuming last night after losing in his home town.

But in a victory speech, socialist Mamdani told New Yorkers: "I will wake up each morning with a singular purpose: To make this city better for you than it was the day before."

He added: "Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: turn the volume up!"

"New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.

"So hear me, President Trump, when I say this, 'To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.'

It came during a torrid night of results for Trump's Republicans on Tuesday.

Mamdani was up against former Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo standing as an independent after Mamdani beat him in the Democrat primary election.

Despite a Republican, Curtis Sliwa, standing in the race, Trump had urged Republicans to back Cuomo to stop a Mamdani victory.
