"We'll work something out."

President Donald Trump has revealed that socialist NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has said that he would like to meet with the White House. The president said that he will "work something out" to meet the request.

"The mayor of New York, I will say, would like to meet with us, and we'll work something out. He would like to come to Washington and meet. We'll work something out. We want to see everything work out for New York," Trump said as he met with reporters.

Mamdani, the socialist candidate who won the mayoral race over former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo as well as GOP candidate Curtis Sliwa, campaigned on an array of far-left policy proposals such as a $30 minimum wage, hiking corporate tax rates to the highest in the country, rent freezes, having the NYPD not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, and many others. 

The day after his victory, Mamdani spoke about "Trump-proofing" New York City, and claimed he would be the man to help protect "those with the least from the consequences of a man with the most power in this country."

However, Mamdani has said that he is willing to work with anyone, including the president, in order to help the Big Apple perform well. Mamdani did not have an immediate response to Trump's comments about the potential meeting, per ABC News. But Mamdani's spokesperson said that he made comments last week about reaching out to the Trump White House “because this is a relationship that will be critical to the success of the city.” 

Earlier during his campaign, Mamdani vowed to be Trump's "worst nightmare." 

"My administration would be Donald Trump’s worst nightmare," Mamdani said in August. "You don’t need to take me at my word or take Andrew Cuomo at his. You need only look at the actions of the Trump administration since I won the Democratic primary."

In his victory speech, Mamdani addressed Trump, saying, "If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him, and if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This is not only how we stop Trump, it's how we stop the next one. So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you. Turn the volume up."

"So hear me, President Trump, when I say this, to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us," he said.
 

On election day, Mamdani claimed that the bomb threats aimed at numerous polling places in New Jersey were "part of the general approach the Trump administration has taken to trying to intimidate voters with baseless allegations of voter fraud as a means of trying to repress the voice of Americans across this country."

"Sometimes they’re blatant and explicit in the manner of these bomb threats, and we also have to know that here in New York City, I saw a young woman sharing a story of her mother who had voted for our campaign and was then harassed by another man at that poll site for doing so,” he added.
