Mamdani Breaks Down His Mindset Ahead Of Highly Anticipated Trump Meeting
HuffPost
The mayor-elect said he'll focus on one of his core issues — and vowed to stand up for New Yorkers.
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said he’s going into his ballyhooed sit-down with President Donald Trump focused on one of his core issues.
“I will work with anyone to make life more affordable for the more than 8 and a half million people who call this city home,” Mamdani said during a Thursday press conference. “I have many disagreements with the president and I believe that we should be relentless and pursue all avenues and all meetings that could make our city affordable for every single New Yorker.”
Mamdani’s statement echoes promises he made during his campaign when he clashed with Trump over immigration and tax cuts, but expressed openness to working together to address the cost of living.
That issue was the cornerstone of Mamdani’s mayoral platform, which included policies like free buses, universal childcare and rent freezes for rent-stabilized apartments. He said Thursday that one in 10 New Yorkers who supported Trump also voted for his campaign, in part because of their shared message of bringing down costs.
In recent months, however, Trump has been roundly criticized for failing to deliver on his pledge to do so, as grocery and electricity prices have skyrocketed. Democrats have also lambasted his massive tax bill for slashing SNAP and Medicaid funding in ways that will make it harder for millions of Americans to afford food and health care.
