Zohran Mamdani Refuses to Text Trump a Selfie of Him and Jimmy Kimmel
Kimmel urged the mayor to text Trump a studio selfie, but Mamdani said he preferred housing talks over the photo op.
- On Monday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani appeared on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, discussing his unexpected friendly relationship with President Donald Trump while promoting his legislative agenda.
- Their relationship began last November at the Oval Office, gaining attention when Mamdani stood stoically beside Trump at Gracie Mansion earlier this month. Mamdani focused on federal approval for his proposed Sunnyside Yard project, targeting 12,000 homes and 30,000 jobs.
- During the interview, Kimmel suggested Mamdani text Trump a selfie from the studio, but the mayor declined. Mamdani quipped, "Jimmy, I love you, but I love housing more," emphasizing his commitment to the Sunnyside Yard development.
- The interview followed a 'Saturday Night Live' sketch parodying the mayor's Trump connection over the weekend. Kimmel introduced Mamdani by citing pundits who predicted 'the end of New York' during his campaign, though murders and shootings hit record lows during his tenure.
- As 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' continues its Brooklyn residency with Sir Paul McCartney and other guests, Mamdani remains focused on securing federal backing for housing initiatives. The mayor's appearance underscores the unusual political alliances currently shaping his administration.
