Trump to meet NYC Mayor Mamdani before UN General Assembly
cnbc.com —
President Donald Trump will meet with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday at Gracie Mansion ahead of the U.N. General Assembly, the mayor's office confirmed Sunday. The meeting will focus on issues affecting New York City and New Yorkers, according to the mayor's press office. Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist who won the 2025 mayoral election, has become a key figure in the Democratic Party's leftward shift. Trump has maintained a cordial relationship with Mamdani despite GOP attacks targeting the mayor ahead of November's midterms, having hosted him at the White House twice. Democrats currently lead in public polling, with Republicans risking loss of House and Senate control.
