"I want to take this moment, because you spoke about President Trump, and he may be watching right now, and I just want to speak directly to the president, I will not be a mayor like Mayor (Eric) Adams, who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo, who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own. I will, however, be a mayor who is ready to speak at any time to lower the cost of living. That's the way I'm going to lead this city. That's the partnership I want to build."
"Well, then we'll have to arrest him. Look, we don't need a communist in this country. But if we have one, I'm going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation."
"He (Mamdani) is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City, Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of hi"
Zohran Mamdani appeared on Fox News and directly addressed President Donald Trump, rejecting any expectation that he would seek favors or federal protection. He contrasted his approach with Mayor Eric Adams and former Governor Andrew Cuomo, emphasizing independent leadership and a focus on lowering the cost of living. Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary by 12 percentage points and faces Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in an upcoming debate. President Trump has escalated warnings, suggesting arrest, National Guard deployment, and withholding federal funds if the Nov. 4 election favors the Democratic candidate.
