EXCERPT:
On Monday, President Donald Trump met with Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City.
Afterward, the two men spoke to reporters outside Gracie Mansion, the mayor’s residence, where they appeared to maintain a rapport that developed during two earlier in-person meetings.
In fact, in response to a reporter’s question, Trump declared that Mamdani has “great potential” as mayor.
“I want him to be a great mayor,” the president said in a clip posted to the social media platform X. “And he’s certainly got potential — got great potential.”
