President Trump to host New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at White House on Friday
CBS News ^ | November 19, 2025 | Katie Houlis

President Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will have a meeting at the White House on Friday, the president said Wednesday in a post on Truth Social.

Mr. Trump said the meeting will take place at the Oval Office, with "further details to follow." Mamdani's team confirmed the meeting.

"As is customary for an incoming mayoral administration, the Mayor-elect plans to meet with the President in Washington to discuss public safety, economic security and the affordability agenda that over one million New Yorkers voted for just two weeks ago," a spokesperson for Mamdani said in a statement.

The president announced earlier this week that they would meet in Washington, but they had not set a date for the meeting at that time.

Mr. Trump often spoke out against Mamdani in the months leading up to the mayoral election, frequently calling the democratic socialist a "communist." In his post announcing Friday's meeting, he referred to the mayor-elect as "Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran 'Kwame' Mamdani."

The president endorsed independent candidate Andrew Cuomo one day before Election Day and repeatedly threatened to withhold federal funding from the city if Mamdani was elected.

After Mamdani's victory, Mr. Trump said in an interview on Fox News that while he doesn't want to "make [Mamdani] succeed, I want to make the city succeed."

Mamdani also often slammed Mr. Trump and his administration during his campaign, even calling out the president during his Election Night victory speech.

He did, however, also express a willingness to work with the president after his election win. He said his team reached out to the White House to set up the meeting.

4-D Chess Move.

Mamdani will need to choose between the White House meeting and “Friday Prayers”.

Advice for Mamdani.

Don’t try to come in strong like Zelinskyy did.

You’ll end up getting told what to wear.

An obligatory congratulatory phone call could have done it. Even that is generous.

I expect this to be a Zelenskyy redux. This Mandani clown is way too arrogant for the office he was elected. New York may be our largest city, but he acts like he was elected to a national office. I really expect him to anger Trump with his demands and get summarily kicked out of the White House.

LAME CBS crap reporting.

Did any of you read Trump’s TS announcement?

It’s a great dig at the little twerp.

This will be fun. Trump is going to ridicule him in his way.

Being the largest city, and where the UN is based out of, the US stock exchange, a major port city (sea and air), Iran mission New York (used as a de facto embassy and through which we communicate with Iran)... There are things that need discussed.

I hope President Trump follows the lead of President Reagan.

President Reagan invited the leaders of several unions who had aggressively campaigned against him to the Oval Office on January 21, 1981. He stated, “This is a magnificent office. Take a good look around because this is the last time any of you will be in this office while I am president.” He then wished them well and showed them the door.

Trump wants to show that he made an effort to get along with Mamdani so that when things go south Trump can say, “Hey I tried to work with him”.

“keep your friends close, and your enemies closer”
Trump’s going to put the piece of shit islamocommie under his mental microscope. He’ll have him figured out in 10 minutes.
Then the chess match will begin.
