Trump, Mamdani promise to work to help NYC and tackle affordability amid cordiality

President Trump and Mayor-elect Mamdani discussed shared goals on housing affordability and public safety for 8.5 million New Yorkers, highlighting a rare moment of bipartisan cooperation.

  • On Friday, November 21st at 3 pm, New York City Mayor‑Elect Zohran Mamdani will meet President Donald Trump in the Oval Office for their first in-person encounter since Mamdani's victory earlier this month.
  • Mamdani plans to press affordability issues such as childcare, utilities, rent, and a $2.90 transit fare during the meeting, emphasizing New Yorkers' struggles this year.
  • During the campaign, Trump repeatedly labeled Mamdani `100% Communist Lunatic` and threatened to withdraw federal funding, announcing the meeting on Truth Social Wednesday with a hostile tone.
  • Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez deferred to Zohran Mamdani, saying `I think we let Zohran lead.` and noted he is preparing for his inauguration while advancing his agenda.
  • Against a backdrop of public hostility, observers say how Friday's meeting will play out remains to be seen as Trump's emphasis on Mamdani's middle name deepens tensions.
