WASHINGTON (TNDD) \u2014 President Donald Trump announced that he would be meeting with New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunist Mayor of New York City, Zohran \u201cKwame\u201d Mamdani, has asked for a meeting,\u201d Trump wrote on TRUTH Social on Wednesday evening. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have agreed that this meeting will take place at the Oval Office on Friday, November 21st. Further details to follow!\u201dEarlier this week, Trump announced that Mamdani wanted to meet with the administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll work something out,\u201d Trump said on Sunday. \u201cBut he would like to come to Washington<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Mamdani said in the past that he wanted to meet with the president before taking office.<\/p>\n

\u201c[If] President Trump wants to speak about lowering the cost of living or delivering cheaper groceries, like he ran on [in 2024], I\u2019m there to have that conversation,\u201d he said earlier this month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Before Mamdani\u2019s win, Trump actively spoke out against the Democratic socialist candidate, calling him a communist.<\/p>\n

He endorsed former New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo who ran as an independent for New York City mayor.<\/p>\n

Mamdani won the mayoral election earlier this month, running on a platform of free public transit and government-run grocery stores.<\/p>\n

He was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON (TNDD) \u2014 President Donald Trump announced that he would be meeting with New York City mayor-elect Zohran…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":46183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[26280,18329,10597,9,24,56,63,65,64,5001,1069,5561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-46182","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-2024-election","9":"tag-mayor-elect","10":"tag-meeting","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-ny","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-nyc-headlines","16":"tag-nyc-news","17":"tag-public-transit","18":"tag-trump","19":"tag-white-house","20":"tag-zohran-mamdani"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
