00:00New York's newly elected mayor, Zoran Mamdani, appears to be extending an olive branch to

00:08President Donald Trump, expressing his willingness to discuss key issues, particularly the rising

00:13cost of living. Though he joked that the White House still hasn't called to congratulate me.

00:19The White House hasn't reached out to congratulate me. I continue to be interested in having a

00:27conversation with President Trump. Trump's tone toward him softened, hinting at a potential opening

00:33for cooperation. He has to be a little bit respectful of Washington because if he's not,

00:40he doesn't have a chance of succeeding. And I want to make him succeed. I want to make the city succeed

00:46and we'll see what happens. Mamdani, who centered his campaign on combating inflation and the soaring

00:52cost of basic goods, had previously criticized Trump over what he described as unfulfilled

00:58political promises.
