White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt praised President Donald Trump for inviting New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to the White House, Friday, saying the invitation “speaks volumes” about Trump.

"It speaks volumes that tomorrow we have a communist coming to the White House because that's who the Democrat Party elected as the mayor of the largest city in the country," Leavitt said.

“I think it's very telling, but I also think it speaks to the fact that President Trump is willing to meet with anyone, and talk to anyone, and to try to do what's right on behalf of the American people,” she added.

Trump has for months slammed Mamdani, falsely labeling him as a “communist” and predicting the ruin of his hometown, New York, if the democratic socialist was elected.

He also threatened to deport Mamdani, who was born in Uganda and became a naturalized American citizen, and to pull federal money from the city.

But in announcing Sunday that he plans to meet with the mayor-elect, Trump said they'll “work something out," in what could be a detente for the Republican president and Democratic political star who have cast each other as political foils.
