President Donald Trump said on Nov. 21 that he would "absolutely" feel comfortable living in New York City under Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, pointing to unexpected areas of agreement after their Oval Office meeting and praising the incoming mayor's views on crime, housing and affordability.
Trump delivered one of the most surprising lines of his Oval Office news conference on Nov. 21, telling reporters that he would "absolutely" feel comfortable living in New York City once Zohran Mamdani takes office. The comment capped a strikingly warm exchange between two politicians who clashed bitterly during the mayoral campaign, yet now say they have common ground on the city's most urgent challenges.
