"He has to be a little bit respectful of Washington, because if he's not, he doesn't have a chance of succeeding, Trump said in an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier. And I want to make him succeed. I want to make the city succeed, Trump added, before quickly clarifying that he wanted New York City, not Mamdani, to succeed."
"The communists, Marxists, and globalists had their chance, and they delivered nothing but disaster, and now let's see how a communist does in New York. We're going to see how that works out, Trump said in a speech to the American Business Forum in Miami, Florida. We'll help him, we'll help him. We want New York to be successful. We'll help him a little bit, maybe."
Zohran Mamdani won the New York mayoralty as the first Muslim and first South Asian mayor of the largest US city. Mamdani announced his transition team and pledged to stand up to Donald Trump while remaining open to dialogue. Donald Trump called Mamdani's victory-night remarks dangerous and warned that Mamdani must be respectful of Washington to have a chance of succeeding. Trump offered conditional federal assistance and also branded Mamdani a communist. Mamdani identifies as a democratic socialist and supports policies including free universal childcare, free buses, and government-run grocery stores.
