Mamdani says he will call Trump in coming weeks, relationship ‘critical’

Zohran Mamdani aims to build a crucial working relationship with President Trump to address federal-local tensions and prevent possible federal deployments and funding cuts.

  • On Tuesday, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said he will call President Donald Trump before taking office, calling the relationship critical to the city’s success.
  • President Donald Trump criticized Mamdani and suggested federal funds could be limited if Mamdani wins, on Truth Social and at a Miami rally last week.
  • Mamdani said he will take proactive steps to dissuade Immigration and Customs Enforcement or National Guard deployments and previewed his points to NBC New York.
  • Policy clashes raise stakes for millions of New Yorkers amid federal scrutiny as Mamdani's Democratic Socialist platform pushes rent freezes, fare-free buses, and childcare funded by higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations.
  • Despite an election-night jab, Mamdani plans pragmatic outreach to the White House before Jan. 1, 2026, after saying he will reach out and emphasizing the relationship’s importance.
