Story summary

On September 21, US President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani met at Gracie Mansion, discussing various issues including immigration enforcement and a major housing project. Despite previous criticism from Trump, the meeting was cordial with both acknowledging press coverage disparities but welcoming all media outlets to their event. Trump defended his decision to ban certain media from the White House by saying, "They never boycott me," pointing out the presence of many journalists at Gracie Mansion. Mamdani emphasized inclusivity for all members of the press and highlighted the need for federal support on housing initiatives like the Sunnyside Yards redevelopment project, which aims to create 12,000 homes and generate 30,000 jobs in New York City. This unexpected alliance between Trump and Mamdani has confused observers across the political spectrum but complicates Republican messaging ahead of the midterms.

Narrative

Earlier this year, Mamdani told CBS News that he prefers to keep the "frequency and the nature of those conversations private, because that's the premise of them." The cordial meeting in November 2025 came as a shock to many as Mamdani, a democratic socialist, had run for office critical of Mr. Trump and the president, in turn, strongly opposed Mamdani during the mayoral campaign and even threatened to arrest and deport him.
