“I think JD Vance is jealous,” said Brian Kilmeade. “I think the president wants to use [Mamdani] as a running mate. They got along fantastic.”

During the meeting, Trump seemed to forget all the insults he’s made about Mamdani ― such as “a 100% Communist Lunatic” ― and even told the mayor-elect it was OK to call him a fascist.

He also dismissed accusations by New York Republican Elise Stefanik that Mamdani is “a jihadist,” saying he didn’t agree with that assessment, but she’s campaigning and you say things sometimes in a campaign.”

Kilmeade’s “jealous” and Mamdani-as-running-mate comments might have been a bit of a burn for Vance, but remember, Trump isn’t eligible to run for a third term, so there probably won’t be a need to swap vice presidents.

If Vance did see it as a slight, he didn’t mention it in his sole post about the Trump-Mamdani meeting. Instead, he just said, “POTUS has a lot of good moments, but this is an all-timer.”

Of course, people had thoughts.
