Mamdani Meets Trump: Affordability on the Line

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, met with President Trump at the White House to discuss affordability, a key issue for both leaders. Mamdani, who recently defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral race, initiated the meeting despite Trumps threat to cut federal funding if he became mayor. Trump has labeled Mamdani a communist, and the outcome of the meeting could impact New York Citys financial stability and Trumps political standing amid declining approval ratings and voter concerns about the high cost of living.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
