Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul
"I welcome President Trump's renewed commitment today to New York's success and his acknowledgment of our shared priorities: lowering costs and improving public safety.
"I also appreciate that the President rejected efforts by members of his own party to weaponize the mayor-elect's background, faith, and identity for political gain, including the Islamophobic attacks labeling him a 'jihadist.' There's no place for rhetoric like that in our politics or in New York.
"I look forward to working with President Trump and Mayor-Elect Mamdani to deliver for New Yorkers. But as I've always said, I'll work with the President when it benefits New Yorkers, and I'll fight like hell when our values are at stake."
