Warren: Trump ‘trying to take a little of the shine that Zohran Mamdani has’

Senator Warren says Trump aims to leverage NYC mayor-elect Mamdani's rising profile on affordability to counter his own political challenges, calling it a strategic move.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump hosted New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office, praising him from behind the Resolute Desk and congratulating him with a handshake.
  • Speaking on CNN's The Lead, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren said President Donald Trump was trying to 'take a little of the shine' from Zohran Mamdani as the incoming mayor gains prominence on cost of living issues.
  • Reporters at the White House described unsafe mob conditions outside the Oval, with an aide to Zohran Mamdani warning the press pool and Kaitlan Collins narrowly avoiding injury.
  • Trump told reporters that the press and national media found the meeting unusually interesting and added, `The better he does, the happier I am`, signaling a warm stance toward Zohran Mamdani.
  • Despite prior attacks—Trump called Zohran Mamdani, New York City mayor-elect, `communist`—the friendly encounter on Friday could redirect momentum from Mamdani's Five Boroughs Against Trump campaign.
