In this Media Miss Minute, despite past threats from President Donald Trump, New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani says he wants to work together for the good of the city. And the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is facing accusations that he improperly accessed mortgage data tied to some of Trump’s political rivals using his position.
Media Miss by the left: Mamdani says partnership with Trump critical to New York City’s success
New York City’s new Democratic Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has hit the ground running with his administration, already making several key appointments. And this week, he said he plans to call President Trump before taking office — with one goal in mind.
“Well, I’ll say that I’m here to work for the benefit of everyone that calls this city home, and that wherever there is a possibility for working together towards that end, I’m ready,” Mamdani told NBC New York on Tuesday. “And if it’s at the expense of those New Yorkers, I will fight it.”
Trump had previously threatened to withhold federal funding from New York City if Mamdani won the election. He even threatened to have Mamdani arrested.
