New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is set to meet President Trump for the first time after his election victory. Mamdani, who has faced criticism from Trump, aims to address issues like housing affordability while navigating the complex relationship with the federal government.
Mamdani, standing next to Trump, who was seated behind the Resolute Desk, said he "appreciated" his time speaking to the President. "It was a productive meeting focused on a place of shared admiration and love of New York City and the need to deliver affordability to New Yorkers," Mamdani said.
The New York City mayoral race exploded on social media, which worked in favor of Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani.
New York elected officials condemned the protesters who chanted for "intifada" outside Manhattan's Park East Synagogue during a Jewish immigration event on Wednesday.
Already, conservative outlets see Mamdani joining Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton as someone guaranteed to make their audiences' blood boil. And by doing so, they can help Republicans in the midterm elections.
Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul holds a 20-point advantage over Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik in a general election matchup, according to a new poll.
