Trump Hand in Mamdani’s NYC-Mayoral Election Win? Mamdani SPILLS SHOCKING Secrets About His Campaign

Oneindia

During a recent interaction, NYC Mayor Mamdani addressed whether Donald Trump’s populist campaign style influenced his own political strategy. Mamdani explained that while he and the President come from very different parts of the political spectrum, both campaigns tapped into the same core concern dominating voters’ minds: the cost-of-living crisis. He revealed that many New Yorkers who supported Trump in the city consistently cited rising expenses—groceries, rent, utilities, and childcare—as their biggest worries.    #TrumpMamdaniMeeting #MamdaniMeetsTrump #TrumpMeetsMamdani #TrumpMamdaniLive #TrumpMamdaniLatest #TrumpMamdaniFullVideo #MamdaniTrump #TrumpMeetingToday #MamdaniMeeting #TrumpMamdaniNews #TrumpMamdaniUpdate #MamdaniAndTrump #TrumpMamdaniClips #TrumpMamdaniCoverage #MamdaniMeetsWithTrump #TrumpMamdaniTalks #TrumpMeetingLive #MamdaniMeetingFull #TrumpMamdaniEvent #TrumpMamdaniReport  ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.124~

00:00President Trump, we heard them speak about cost of living.

00:02We focused on that same cost of living,

00:04and that's where I am really looking forward

00:06to delivering for New Yorkers in partnership

00:08with the president on the affordability agenda.

00:11You know, we had, both of us,

00:13we had the highest inflation in the history of our country

00:15the last four years under the Biden administration.

00:19The president was the president,

00:21and those are also part of the message of our campaign

00:23was to take on a broken politics of the past,

00:26and I ran against a number of candidates

00:27who represented different versions of that past.

00:30And what we found time and again is that working people

00:32were left behind in the politics of our city.

00:34From different parts of the political spectrum,

00:37you're both populists, though,

00:38and I just wonder to what extent the president's campaign style,

00:42his techniques, his social media use,

00:45inspired any part of your campaign?

00:47Well, I actually told the president that, you know,

00:49so much of the focus of our campaign

00:51has been on the cost of living crisis,

00:53and when we asked those New Yorkers

00:54who had voted for the president

00:55when we saw an increase in his numbers in New York City

00:59that came back to the same issue,

01:00cost of living, cost of living, cost of living.

01:02And they spoke about the cost of groceries,

01:04the cost of rent, the cost of con ed,

01:06the cost of child care.

01:07And too often, politicians are looking to lecture

01:10to New Yorkers what they should care about

01:11as opposed to listen.

01:13And when we spoke to those voters

01:14who voted for President Trump,

01:16we heard them speak about cost of living.

01:18We focused on that same cost of living,

01:19and that's where I am really looking forward

01:22to delivering for New Yorkers in partnership

01:24with the president on the affordability agenda.

01:27And I think we have to work a little bit.

01:29We talked about con edison.

01:30We have to work a little bit on getting the prices

01:32because, you know, we've gotten fuel prices way down,

01:35but it hasn't shown up in con edison.

01:38And we're going to have to talk to them.

01:39You know, if we're sending them fuel

01:42at a much lower price than it was a year ago,

01:44which is true, we have to get con edison

01:47to start lowering their rates.

01:48Absolutely.

01:49Mr. President, the cost of living

01:51is something that you and Mr. Mondani seem to agree on.

01:54Democrats have run New York City for a long time,

01:58Mr. Mondani.

01:59Do you see Democrat policy specifically

02:02as being a problem?

02:03And I'd like that to be a question

02:05that both of you could answer in New York City.

02:07Look, I think that there are many things in our city

02:10where we have to own the responsibility of it,

02:12things that existed long before the president

02:15was the president.

02:16And those are also part of the message of our campaign

02:18was to take on a broken politics of the past.

02:21And I ran against a number of candidates

02:22who represented different versions of that past.

02:25And what we found time and again

02:26is that working people were left behind

02:28in the politics of our city.

02:29And what we're looking to do

02:30is put those people right back

02:31at the heart of our politics

02:32so that we don't have a situation

02:34where we're in the wealthiest city

02:36in the history of the world

02:38and yet one in five can't even afford $2.90

02:41for a MetroCard.

02:42Mr. Mondani?

02:43You know, we had some interesting conversation

02:46and some of his ideas really are

02:48the same ideas that I have.

02:50But a big thing on cost,

02:52you know, the new word is affordability.

02:55Another word is just groceries.

02:56You know, it's sort of an old-fashioned word,

02:58but it's very accurate.

03:00And they're coming down,

03:01they're coming down high.

03:02They were, you know, we had, both of us,

03:04we had the highest inflation

03:05in the history of our country

03:06the last four years

03:07under the Biden administration.

03:11And we've got inflation down now

03:13to a normal number.

03:14It's going to go even a little bit lower than that.

03:15Katie, do you have something?

03:16I was pregnant.
