"Tensions between US President Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani showed no signs of easing on Wednesday as both hit out at each other's political approach, just hours after the 34-year-old democratic socialist was elected as New York City's next mayor. "Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up," Mamdani, a Democrat, told the Republican president from the stage of his Brooklyn victory party. Trump was watching, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed."
"Trump said the US had lost "sovereignty" in the wake of Mamdani's election victory. The president said Miami "will soon be the refuge for those fleeing communism in New York." "The decision facing all Americans could not be more clear: We have a choice between communism and common sense," he said, while adding that the Democrats offered an "economic nightmare" and his policies would provide an "economic miracle.""
Zohran Mamdani won election as New York City's mayor and publicly challenged President Donald Trump, directly addressing him during a Brooklyn victory event. The White House confirmed that Trump was watching the remarks. Mamdani invoked New York's history and birth ties to Trump while presenting the city as an example of political resistance. In Miami, Trump characterized Mamdani's victory as evidence of lost "sovereignty" and warned that Miami could become a refuge from perceived communism in New York. Trump framed the political choice as one between "communism and common sense," criticized Democrats as offering an "economic nightmare," and touted his policies as an "economic miracle."
