During their first Oval Office meeting, President Donald Trump dismissed GOP leader Elise Stefanik’s claim that NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is a 'jihadist'. Trump said, "No, I don’t," when a reporter questioned whether he considers him a 'jihadist'. Trump described him as a "very rational person" who wants the city to thrive. Mamdani, 34, is the city’s first Muslim mayor.
