The featured guest of the day on Tuesday’s (January 20) edition of The View was new New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, who took a victory lap over the implementation of some of his immediate policy enactments, including funding universal child care for city residents, by bringing some of the direct beneficiaries of those programs into the live audience during his visit.

As celebratory as Mamdani’s message was, though, he was also on hand to discuss his position on current national events, and Joy Behar in particular wanted to know why he was exchanging text messages with Donald Trump.
