US EditionTrump posts photo of Mamdani with Declaration of Independence in Oval Office
Trump shared the photo to highlight Mamdani's housing plan and raised an ICE detention case; Mamdani proposed a $21 billion, 12,000-unit project, officials said.
- President Donald Trump posted a photo on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, showing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani smiling beside the Declaration of Independence in the Oval Office.
- The Thursday meeting at the White House focused on Mamdani's $21 billion plan to build 12,000 housing units in Queens, the borough he represented in the New York State Assembly.
- During the meeting Mamdani said Trump told him ICE would release Columbia student Elmina Aghayeva after he raised her detention, and Shipman wrote, 'Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry.'
- Despite their public disagreements, the interaction produced cordial optics even though Trump labeled Mamdani a 'communist' during his State of the Union last Tuesday.
- Polls show Mamdani's net favorable rating has risen to +48 points, up from +14 in September, making it harder for Republicans to target him, Harry Enten said.
