Washington Examiner Senior Writer Joe Concha suggested that New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani promised to call President Donald Trump to assure federal funding.

“What motivates Mamdani more than anything? Free money from the government,” Concha said on Fox Business’s Kudlow on Wednesday. “So when Trump threatened, ‘if this guy wins I’m going to withhold as much as I can,’ Mamdani then becomes this lizard person shape shifter, and now suddenly he’s going to be nice to Trump because that’s who the handout is coming from. He realizes that’s a war he’s not going to win.”
