Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, is set to travel to Washington for a meeting with Trump on Friday.

“The president ran a campaign where he spoke about a promise to deliver cheaper groceries, a promise to reduce the cost of living," the mayor-elect said.

Zohran Mamdani said he plans to talk to President Donald Trump about the problem many New York City residents have with affording to live in the Big Apple.
