The women of The View welcomed newly elected New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to the show on Tuesday - and panelist Sunny Hostin wasted no time relishing in his election win.
'Mr. Mayor - and I love saying that...' Hostin, 57, began, before bringing up the fatal ICE shooting of 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Renee Good.
Mamdani, in response, stood by prior statements slamming Good's death as 'murder'.
The former state assemblyman revealed that he remains in close contact with Donald Trump. The two appeared to hit it off during a photo-op in November, fascinating Joy Behar to no end.
Behar, at a point, asked the mayor if he's attempting a 'charm offensive' with the conservative, to which a diplomatic Mamdani, 34, replied: 'I think my intention is about being honest and direct with the president.
'And I think there are many disagreements the two of us have.'
Behar also found interest in the fact that the two politicians have been texting each other - another tidbit confirmed by Mamdani.
'I don't have my phone,' Mamdani cracked.
Behar, 83, joked that the excuse was 'very convenient,' before prodding the Democratic socialist some more by asking if he really feels Trump 'cares about New York City.'
'And do you have an award for him?' she added, perhaps quipping about Trump's failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize last year.
Mamdani appeared to dodge the first question by focusing on the softball follow-up.
'I don't have an award, but I will say, though, I'll exhaust every possibility [when it comes to cooperation between the White House and his team].
'When New Yorkers elect a mayor they're looking for someone who is going to turn over every leaf to see what they can do for the city. That's what I'm going to do.'

Sunny tries to give Jasmine Crockett a run for stupidity.
Because the previous mayors were too conservative.
She’s got a tingle running down her leg.
Did she give him all her money and her house for the common good?
Hop on the ‘free’ bus. Enjoy the stationary view, because that bus isn’t moving, and it never will. Tires are flat and the driver just quit.
Bring back the Rosenberg treatment.
Since Sunny’s husband loves bank fraud, and those two vultures are filthy rich when are THEY going to pay their fare share
I didn’t think she was stupidly but she’s PROVED ME WRONG ‘!
I didn’t think she was stupidly but she’s PROVED ME WRONG ‘!
meanwhile she lives in a $12 million home in one of the richest counties (Westchester, NY) in America...
That's just incontinence.
Sunny, there is this small foreign family with no place to live. Could you take them into your household to feed them and clothe them and give them a room to stay? PLEASE! DO YOURE PART.
Ha.
Reagan’s gone all this time but the trickle down effect still
goes on.
Zohran Mamdani is setting himself up for epic fail. The capital he expects to tap for all his schemes of “free” stuff is already fleeing the city, and even the NYSE, the staple of Wall Street, is outsourcing to Dallas, Texas.
Once dispersed, the capital markets might never return. Manhattan becomes Bangladesh, scrabbling for scraps and with an overwhelmingly dense population, most of whom have little or nothing.
Some animals are more equal than others.
In Tehran, they’re taking to the streets to get out from under the iron thumb of their islamic overlords. In New York, they’re giving their islamic overlord a hand job.

In London, they get away with it (for the time being) because there's nowhere else to go in the UK.
Which is not the case in the States.
We should NEVER have allowed people like Sony Hostin to vote... Just sayin’.
People like Joy Behar and Sony Hostin are the type of people who lose all their money to Nigerian phone scammers.
A tingle or a tinkle?
