Trump booed at Madison Square Garden as he and Mamdani attend Knicks game
Details
The New York City mayor indicated he will not be sitting next to the president.
President Donald Trump faced apparent boos from the crowd of passionate Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden on Monday.
He was seen standing in a box during the National Anthem next to New York Knicks owner James Dolan at Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
Trump, who has sat courtside at many Knicks games before being elected president, said he was personally invited by Dolan, who is a longtime friend of the president.
Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani are both attending the game and cheering on the Knicks as they seek another win in the best-of-seven series.
“They’re really great, a great team. I’m happy for Jim because Jim has really been fighting hard to produce such a team,” Trump told reporters last week.
Trump was seen inside his box alongside his granddaughter, Kai Trump, Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Jared Kushner, among others.
Mamdani has maintained his opposition to many of the president’s policies but has maintained he is open to working with him to help New Yorkers, especially when it comes to driving down housing costs.
