In Mamdani's latest visit to the White House yesterday, he not only pitched a massive federal housing plan for the city, but

Participle clauses

he came with props, playing directly into the president's love of building and perhaps the press, or at least attention of the press.

Mandani also brought off a Columbia student being detained by ICE while he was at the White House.

Trump phoned him shortly after the meeting to say that the woman had actually been released.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enton joining us now with more on the New York City mayor's growing popularity.

You know, President Trump is not the only one who gets the vapors when it comes to Zoram Mamdani.

I mean, my goodness gracious, he likes popular politicians.

Mamdani's net favorable rating in New York City in September of 2025, plus 14 points.

A more popular mayor to start off than either of his two Democratic predecessors, either Eric Adams or.

Or Bill de Blasio, the most popular Democrat in New York City in a generation.

And President Trump, who likes to get on board with popular politicians, is getting on board right now with this guy.

Okay, so you know what a lot of Republicans are like, oh, we're going to run statewide in New York and run against our Rahm Mandani.

And that is a Rahmani isn't just popular in New York City.

He's actually the most popular Democrat statewide.

Net favorable of New York Democrats statewide.

Jerome Mamdani with a positive net favor rating of plus 16 points.

More popular than Kristen Gillibrand at plus 12, more popular than Kathy Hochul at plus 9, more popular than Chuck Schumer at minus 7.

Zahra Amdani is the most popular Democrat in the state of New York right now.

Republicans are not going to be able to run against him in the midterms because the bottom line is this.

He's popular not just in his home city, but he's popular in New York State as well.

Okay, but what about the popularity with the president?

What is it that President Trump seems to like about him?

Yeah, okay, so I think what he likes about him is the fact that he is very much the type of politician who is able to attract the media attention in the same way, while sticking.

You know, Donald Trump has always been this type of politician who, who goes out there, says a whole heck of a lot of things, but

And Zoram Mandani is the type of guy who's been able to bring in President Trump, but

also has basically been sticking to his campaign platform.

According to the prediction markets, the cash prediction market this year, there's still an 81% chance that Jaram Hamdani actually freezes the.

So he is maintaining his popularity citywide.

He is maintaining, in fact, being the most popular Democrat in the state of New York right here, plus 16 points.

And he is doing so while also at this point looking like he is going to actually keep that big campaign promise of freezing the rent.

At this point, as I said, President Trump isn't the only one who has the vapors, because the bottom line is this.

A lot of New Yorkers have the vapors about Jahram Amdani as well as he is sticking to his quite progressive platform.

It looks like the Donald Trump Zoran Mamdani bromance is heating up again.

New York's mayor went to the White House today to discuss building more housing in New York City.

And to help make his case, Mamdani bought brought some visual aids like this photoshopped front page of the New York Daily News with the headline Trump to City, let's Rebuild.

A play off of a 1975 front page that featured President Ford.

Now, Mamdani called the meeting productive and his office says that Trump was enthusiastic about the proposal, which included building 12,000 new units in the city.

The new relationship is a far cry from the war of words between the two just months ago.

We're going to go to a communistic city that's so bad for New York.

And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.

The Mondavi thing is it's a disaster waiting to happen.

Our city is under attack by an authoritarian Trump administration.

He's a communist, he hates police, he hates Jewish people.

And yet he's got Jewish people supporting hates Jewish people.

If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him.

I still see both Democrats and Republicans fighting yesterday's war on this.

They're, like, still trying to make these two enemies.

When Mamdani and Trump are just fine working together, getting some stuff done for each other, posing for pictures, I mean, is it time to just let it go?

It's okay for us to have heated debates in elections, and

then Democrats and Republicans work together when the elections are over.

They're not going to agree on a lot of things.

you want to have a good relationship with Trump, walking into the Oval Office and saying, let's build some buildings and do some development in New York City, that's like the number one thing that you would do to get Donald Trump excited.

And by the way, it's probably a great idea.

And who better to get involved than Donald Trump?

You were not a bom Donnie guy, but he seems to be getting the job.

I mean, I love this idea of them working together.

Why can't Donald Trump work together with the Democrats in Washington, D.C.

you have Donald Trump here and he calls a communist over there.

He said, but I want to work together with him.

Why can't he work together with the Democrats?

Why can't Democrats learn from how Mamdani is dealing with.

He walks in with a poster and a very direct ask.
