Trump and Mamdani Plan to Be at Monday’s Knicks Game (but Not Together)
The New York Times • • sports
Key Points:
- President Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani plan to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals in New York separately, with no plans to meet at Madison Square Garden.
- Trump is expected to watch the game from a luxury suite, reflecting his wealthy image, while Mayor Mamdani, a democratic socialist, will have a less prominent seat closer to the rafters.
- Mayor Mamdani is paying for his own ticket, whereas it is unclear if Trump is paying, though he mentioned being invited by Knicks owner James Dolan.
- The White House confirmed President Trump’s attendance following his earlier indication that he would be at the game.
