Trump says Mamdani should reach out to him: ‘Has to be a little bit respectful of Washington’
- On Wednesday, November 5, 2025, President Donald Trump told Fox News he would talk with New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani if the mayor-elect is `respectful` of Washington, warning Mamdani he `stands to lose a lot` without cooperation.
- Zohran Mamdani, New York City mayor-elect, won a historic victory as the city's first Muslim and first South Asian mayor, campaigning on democratic socialist policies like free childcare, free buses, and government-run grocery stores, which he rejects as `communism`.
- Campaign rhetoric escalated as President Donald Trump labelled Zohran Mamdani a `communist lunatic` and threatened to cut off federal funding if he won, while saying Miami, Florida, `will soon be the refuge for those fleeing communism in New York City`.
- Mamdani pledged to prioritize New Yorkers and defend them if Washington targets the city, while Trump said `We'll help him a little bit` to make the city succeed.
- Mamdani's election, governing about 8.5 million people, is seen as having nationwide implications amid Democratic Party debates, set for January 1.
