Addressing a huge crowd in his home
city of Chicago, he said: «If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the
dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power
of our democracy,
tonight is your answer.
«The
dreams of taxi drivers, the
dreams of bodega owners, single moms, senior citizens that are trying to make ends meet in this
city — these
dreams are here in this platform
tonight,» Espaillat said in his victory speech, surrounded by supporters at the Dyckman Express Restaurant in Inwood shortly after 11 p.m.
