From Campaign Rivals to Cooperative Partners: Trump Praises Mamdani After Oval Office Talks
President Donald Trump wrapped up his first in-person meeting with New York City’s mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, on Friday with a surprising display of warmth and optimism. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump said he felt “very confident” in Mamdani’s ability to lead the city, adding, “I think he is going to surprise some conservative people, actually.”

The friendly atmosphere marked a significant shift from their heated mayoral campaign, during which both men frequently criticized each other in sharply worded exchanges. This time, however, they nodded in agreement, listened attentively, and even exchanged supportive smiles — a stark contrast to the hostility seen just months earlier.
Mamdani said the two were candid about where they differ, but emphasized that the meeting focused on their “shared purpose” of serving the people of New York rather than rehashing political disputes.
