President Trump visited Gracie Mansion on Monday evening to meet with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during his trip to Manhattan for the United Nations General Assembly. The meeting represents a striking reversal in their relationship, which began with considerable public hostility during Mamdani's mayoral campaign but has become notably cordial since his election. This third meeting marks the first time the two have met in New York City and signals a working relationship focused on issues affecting the city.

The meeting is particularly significant because it marks the first presidential visit to Gracie Mansion in 45 years, the last being Ronald Reagan's visit in 1981. Trump and Mamdani previously met at the White House in November 2025 shortly after Mamdani's election and again in February, with housing among the topics discussed. During the campaign, Trump had called the Democratic socialist Mamdani a "100% Communist Lunatic," whilst Mamdani vowed Trump would "have to get through me" to pursue mass deportation in New York, but they have since maintained regular contact by phone and text.
