President Trump heads back to New York for a sit down with Mayor Zohran Mamdani, ahead of his big speech before the UN General Assembly today.

Donald Trump (1:27)

I certainly hope he will be a great mayor. You have to understand, I want what's good for New York. I want what's good for the country.

I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley. It's Tuesday, September 22nd, and this is Morning Wire.

Three media outlets sue President Trump over his White House ban as their colleagues boycott the press pool.

JD Vance (1:54)

If you're going to engage in what is effectively far left propaganda, why would a Republican White House give you special access?

Georgia Howe (2:01)

And with Polymarket now giving Democrats the edge on flipping the Senate, we sit down with Republican Senator Bill Hagerty to talk about the GOP plans to stave off a blue wave.

Bill Hagerty (2:11)

I really do believe Republicans will maintain control of the Senate. It's going to take a lot of hard work. We're not going to take it for granted, but I think we have the right messaging and the right candidates to do that.

John Bickley (2:20)

Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

For the first time since becoming president for a second time, Donald Trump traveled to New York for some high-profile sit-downs in an upcoming speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

Georgia Howe (3:50)

Joining us now to discuss what we've seen so far from the president and what's planned for today is Ben Domenech, Daily Wire opinion editor and host of the District Club. Ben, thanks for coming on.

Ben Domenech (4:00)

Great to be with you.

Georgia Howe (4:01)

First, President Trump being back in New York is a big deal. He's had a very combative relationship with officials there despite being a hometown president. Big picture, how important is this visit?
