The Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and President Donald Trump have been busy texting, giving rise to a new bromance, sources have confirmed.
The pair has developed a very unusual private communication pattern that's leaving many political experts stunned. This is despite months of public antagonism during the mayoral campaign.
Trump continued to criticize Mamdani's policies and ideology, and Mamdani openly challenged the President's leadership.
Despite that, the two are exchanging text messages at least twice a week. The news of the steady dialogue has people stunned.
The tone of such texts was described as friendly and pragmatic, focusing on topics that range from city-level concerns like real estate and zoning issues in New York to bigger issues like foreign policy.
The fact that it's happening so regularly reflects a striking departure from the historically remote or purely formal relationships typically seen between American Presidents and NYC mayors.
