Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’” scored New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s final advertisement before his election night victory — but the campaign spot has now been removed from X amid a licensing rejection from Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG).

The ad, posted by Mamdani’s various social media accounts just before polls closed on Tuesday (Nov. 4), featured the caption “New York is a-changin’” and a montage of scenes from the 34-year-old progressive’s campaign set to Dylan’s famous protest song. Mamdani was declared the winner of the race Tuesday night, beating former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
