We're going to build a city that everyone can afford — and with about 40 days until I become the next mayor of the city, we're hard at work on the transition. (And if that's something you want to be a part of, visit our website!)

Reporter to Mamdani: President Trump says he loves NYC. Does NYC love President Trump?
Mamdani: NYC loves a future that is affordable, and I can tell you that there were more NYCers who voted for President Trump because of that focus on cost of living.
Trump: I got a lot of votes.

There is no scenario where the left embraces Trump, but Mamdani absolutely can snatch some of DJT’s voters bc a lot of his voters are people who want change and don’t care much about the details, just the resulting gas and grocery prices.

Magnolia's Cafe on Rochester's deep blue Park Ave might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters. But over the clank of metal spoons against bowls of tomato soup, you can hear whispers that the president's friendly meeting with Mamdani may be the beginning of a pivot to the center.
