Speaker 2 In a video posted online Friday night, Green said her decision follows months of political infighting and controversy over the release of the Epstein files.

Speaker 2 Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked, and used by rich, powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for.

Speaker 4 President Trump had threatened to cut funding if Mandani was elected and called him his little communist mayor. Mandani had described himself as Donald Trump's worst nightmare.

Speaker 4 But on Friday, they were both full of smiles and promises to partner together on lowering the cost of housing and groceries for New Yorkers.

Speaker 5 I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help, because I want New York City to be great.
Look, I love New York City. It's where I come from.
I spent a lot of years there. Now I'm right here.

Speaker 4 Both have a mutual interest in playing nice. Mandani wants to protect federal funding for New York City, and Trump is looking to get in on Mondani's affordability message.
