Mamdani visited Manhattan on Monday, Brooklyn on Tuesday, Staten Island on Wednesday, the Bronx on Thursday and Queens on Friday to reject the impact of President Donald Trump's second-term agenda on New York City.
"Today marks the fifth and final day in our Five Borough tour of this city, and standing up against the Trump administration's vision and the way in which it mandates an attack on the very fabric of the city that we call home," Mamdani said on Friday.
Topics throughout the week ranged from immigration to the economy as Mamdani worked to tie his leading opponent in the race for Gracie Mansion, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, to Trump.
"After this Five Borough tour, it would be rational to feel a sense of helplessness, to feel a sense of disappointment," Mamdani said on Friday.

"The voters have spoken in this city, and they said that they're looking for something different," the Queens leader said.
Fox News Digital caught up with Richards after the event to clarify if he was comparing Mamdani to King.
The Borough president said he would never say that Mamdani is King, but that both leaders have been called communists, and that Mamdani is "speaking to the pulse of what people care about right now."
When reached for comment regarding Mamdani's anti-Trump tour earlier in the week, White House spokeswoman, Abigail Jackson, told Fox News Digital, "Comrade Mamdani is the American people’s worst nightmare."
"His communist policies will crater our economy, increase crime, crowd out Americans with free health care for illegal immigrants, and defund the brave men and women of law enforcement who keep us safe," Jackson said.

The White House added, "The American people have repeatedly rejected this communist agenda and the more Mamdani shares his radical policies, the more the American people will recoil."
