New York City (NYC) Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani explained that the relationship he has with President Donald “will be critical to the success” of the city, and added that he plans to call Trump before taking office.
During an interview with NBC New York’s Melissa Russo, Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist, spoke about how as mayor of NYC he “will be proactive in the work” he does. Mamdani also expressed that it was “important” to be able to be “open to working with anyone,” regardless of the disagreements you have with them.
“I will be proactive in the work that I do, and I think that is because the responsibility I hold to 8.5 million people being their mayor,” Mamdani said. “It is important that you are open to working with anyone, no matter what disagreements you may have. And, I’ve said this when it pertains to President Trump, that President Trump wants to speak about lowering the cost of living or delivering cheaper groceries like he ran on, I’m there to have that conversation.”
“The distinction will be that previous administrations have looked to have that conversation to the benefit of themselves, in the expense of the people that we look to serve,” Mamdani added.
When asked by Russo if Mamdani planned to call Trump, he stated that he would “be reaching out to the White House” prior to entering office.
“This is a relationship that will be critical to the success of this city,” Mamdani added.

He just realized he needs someone’s money, so now he will be trying to get it from trump.
Hochel totally stiffed him on state taxes and funds.
He already called him from the podium at his acceptance speech. His Biden hitlerian fist raising rampage
I imaging this statement indicates he means to blame Trump for everything that goes wrong in NYC He certainly won’t be having any successes for NYC. Just his own intentions will succeed. Which are of his people.
If ya start pumping iron, maybe he’ll let you carry his golf bag for a few rounds. That’s where you’ll have his full attention.
Your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please hang up and good luck with that whole socialism thing.
“Nice buildings you have here....”
He might get a busy signal.
Hochul fleeces the NYC sheep too and she’d hate to see them head south.
I suspect somebody in the commies circle saw DJTs interview with Brett Baier where Trump said NYCs success depends heavily on the White House and they convinced the commie that’s absolutely the case.
I can already tell this guy is a political lightweight that has no idea what he’s doing.....he reminds me a lot of Karen Bass or Brandon Johnson.
I agree, does not change the fact she shutdown the idea of any tax raises next year for NY City. She wants to win the election. Mubles Mumdahni is broke.
She is leaving him high and dry financially.
If Trump does talk to him, he should suggest that NYC solve its budget issues by working with ICE in deporting everyone who is not lawfully present. Should also support not granting citizenship to anchor babies. That would likely remove 10-15% of all students and most of them would be high need students .(English as a second language).
1.1 million students in NYC schools, they spend $42000 per student per year.
1,100,000 x .10 x $42,000 = $4.62 billion
1,100,000 x .15 x $42,000 = $6.93 billion
Maybe that 10-15 percentage is too high because the kids are now considered citizens but their parents are not. Deport the whole family and when the child is old enough to support themselves and if they are considered citizens they can come back.
“Mamdani planned to call Trump, he stated that he would “be reaching out to the White House”
Yeah good luck with that one a-hole. Maybe it was a bad idea to attack and challenge DJT in your election victory speech.
Hey Moron Mandani,
Socialism is slavery, theft, and murder. Check legitimate history if doubtful.
Renounce all three then we’ll talk.
Communism is just metastasized socialism.
$42000 can get your kid into some pretty good private schools in The South...........
POTUS Trump is the POTUS. Why would he have time for the Mayor of New York?
Well Hochel told Mamdani to pound sand when it comes to getting “Free buses” so yeah Mamdani knows the majority of his agenda is NEVER gonna happen. That is why I say let Mamdani run his trap, once people realize he was a total fraud and cant deliver on the stuff he promised, he’s done
The Beggar of Gotham.
Good luck with Trump, dude....
I can reliably report to Commie Mandani that if he want’s Trump’s support, he better plan on a MAGA agenda for NYC. Trump’s not very likely to support a Communist agenda.
Yeah, because he needs the gravy train from the feds to implement his plan to destroy NYC and islamify it and thereby the state and then country.
