New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani arrived at Madison Square Garden before NBA Finals Game 3 on Monday, sparking rumors he'd be seated near President Donald Trump.
Mamdani directly addressed the rumors, stating he'd be in a 'very different section of the stadium' and not near the president.
The mayor's standing room ticket cost him close to $1,000.
Despite their political differences, Mamdani welcomed Trump to the iconic New York venue, saying he was 'welcome just like any other longtime New Yorker and Knicks supporter.'
