Gavin J. Quinton reports in The Washington Sun that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani brokered a deal with President Trump giving bodegas and other small retailers at least a 90-day extension to comply with new SNAP stocking rules that would have barred tens of thousands of small grocery stores from accepting food stamps. The article describes Mamdani's quiet back channel with Trump, which he credits with the extension and says continues on matters affecting New York City.
