"We will put an end to the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks, the mayor-elect said. New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant. So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."
"The mayor-elect said that while he is not afraid to tangle with the White House when he deems it necessary, he nonetheless is willing to work with the Republican president on ways to address the city's affordability crisis. I will not mince my words when it comes to President Trump, I will continue to describe his actions as they are, and I will also always do so by leaving a door open to have that conversation, Mamdani said."
Zohran Mamdani pledged to end a culture of corruption that permits billionaires to evade taxes and exploit tax breaks. He affirmed New York as a city built and powered by immigrants and emphasized his own immigrant background as mayor-elect. He directly challenged President Trump, declaring collective resistance to federal attacks and threats to defund the city. He also signaled willingness to work with the Republican president on measures to lower costs while reserving the right to confront the White House when necessary. Past exchanges include Mamdani condemning Trump as authoritarian and Trump disparaging Mamdani while endorsing a rival.
