New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said Monday that he hopes to meet with President Donald Trump to find ways the political polar opposites can work together on the central focus of his winning campaign: affordability. At an appearance at a food pantry in the Bronx, the Democrat confirmed that his team had reached out to the White House to set up a possible sit-down.

Trump told reporters Sunday night that he planned meet with Mamdani, saying ` we`ll work something out ` as he prepared to fly back to Washington after spending the weekend in Florida. Mamdani said the overture reflected his commitment to meet with anyone who could help address the city`s most pressing needs, including controlling soaring costs.
