Overview
- The official White House account on X posted a Knicks-style graphic reading "Trump Is Your President" shortly after Zohran Mamdani was projected New York City mayor-elect.
- Front Office Sports reports the Knicks contacted the White House about the unauthorized use, after which the post was voluntarily removed.
- In a statement, the team said it remains neutral on political matters and hopes all elected officials do a great job in office.
- Two weeks earlier, the Knicks sent Mamdani’s campaign a cease-and-desist over a campaign ad using a Knicks-inspired logo, which the campaign later took down.
- The White House did not answer questions about the deleted post, sending an automated reply citing "staff shortages resulting from the Democrat Shutdown."
