The Democrat did not comment. “The Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran “Kwame” Mamdani, has requested a meeting. We have agreed that this meeting will take place in the Oval Office on Friday, November 21. More details coming soon,” Trump said. Trump claims he will find Mamdami Reproduction/Truth Social Mamdani’s election, at the beginning of the month, represented a political defeat for Trump. The president tried to interfere in the dispute by demonstrating support for the other candidate, Andrew Cuomo, preaching a vote against the Democrat and threatening to cut federal funds if he were elected. Mamdani had already stated that he would not be intimidated by Trump’s threats and said that he could challenge possible federal government measures against New York in court. In his victory speech, Mamdani sent messages to Trump. “Donald Trump, I know you’re watching. Turn up the volume! If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it’s the city that raised him,” he said. After the election, Trump even said that he might help the Democrat govern. Afterwards, he stated that the Americans “lost a bit of sovereignty in New York” with Mamdani’s victory, but said he “will take care of it”. “Communists, Marxists, socialists and globalists took their chance and delivered nothing but disaster. And now let’s see how a communist fares in New York. Let’s see how this ends,” he said at the time. “And we’re going to help him. We want New York to be successful. We’re going to help him a little bit, maybe,” he concluded, referring to Mamdani. The elected mayor will be the first Muslim to command the city. Avowedly socialist, he advocates reducing the cost of living and expanding free public services. MORE Yuki Iwamura/Carlos Barria/Reuters Article being updated.
