I think he's way ahead of you on that. I wouldn't be surprised if next we hear that he visited the White House and charmed Trump like Mamdani did.
I wouldn't bet on that. As I said before, in his victory speech, El-Sayed said things about AIPAC and Rogers that made me cringe. He strikes me as a lot more confrontational than Mamdani, and willing to carry a grudge. Then the reporter from Sky News baited him with words to the effect "Trump said this bigoted, hateful thing. What is your reaction?", then "Trump said this other bigoted, hateful thing. How do you react to that?" The knives are out for him.
And finally, Mamdani is only a mayor. In the Senate, El-Sayed could help throw a wrench in Trump's schemes, so Trump is going to want to isolate him from the other Senators. Painting him as a hot head, is a good start.
