Worlds are set to collide this week at the White House, as President Donald Trump revealed that he would be hosting New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani for a meeting of the minds.
This should be a fun one. One can only hope that the press will be allowed to ask questions at the meeting.
The New York Post had additional details on Friday's meeting:
Mamdani plans to discuss his quest for greater affordability and public safety agenda with Trump during the meeting, according to his spokesperson.
'As is customary for an incoming mayoral administration, the Mayor-elect plans to meet with the President in Washington to discuss public safety, economic security, and the affordability agenda that over one million New Yorkers voted for just two weeks ago,' a spokesperson for Mamdani told The Post.
The incoming NYC mayor meeting with the sitting U.S. president has become something of a customary event, but when those two parties are Mamdani and Trump, it has the potential to be much more fun.
The meeting comes after months of Trump deriding Mamdani as 'my little communist' and predicting the downfall of New York City if the democratic socialist was elected mayor.
Trump has also threatened to pull government funding from the city and explore the possibility of a federal takeover.
Mamdani, 34, has not shied away from criticism of Trump either, referring to the president as a 'despot' in his victory speech earlier this month.
If you thought Zelenskyy's Oval Office visits have been entertaining, there's a chance you could be in for a treat.
Get your popcorn ready, folks.
