NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani addressed President Donald Trump’s comments on a potential meeting Monday.<\/p>\n
Mamdani visited the “Part of the Solution,” or POTS, in the Bronx.<\/p>\n
POTS is the leading provider of emergency food in the Bronx.<\/p>\n
Mamdani served hot food to New Yorkers in need. He addressed accessibility and affordability in the boroughs, highlighting the importance of SNAP benefits.<\/p>\n
“While organizations, like Catholic Charities and POTS, have been doing incredible work, we need to deliver a City Hall that will work with them and also work to protect New Yorkers from a federal administration that would rather starve the people of this city than serve the people of this city,” said Mamdani.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, President Trump said he would consider meeting Mamdani. He said they’ll “work something out”.<\/p>\n
Mamdani responded to those comments saying, “My team reached out to the White House to fulfill a commitment I made to New Yorkers over the course of this campaign. A commitment to the willingness to meet with anyone, and everyone, so long as it is to the benefit of the 8.5 million people that call New York home.”<\/p>\n
Trump expressed his opinion of the candidates for NYC mayor throughout the campaign. The president called Mamdani a “communist” and threatened to pull funding from the city if he was elected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani addressed President Donald Trump’s comments on a potential meeting Monday.
