"New York Will Be Economic, Social Disaster If Mamdani Becomes Mayor": Trump
US President Donald Trump has endorsed former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in his independent run for New York City mayor, urging voters not to elect left-wing Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani. Queens-born Trump, who often refers to New York as his first home, warned that it will be a "complete and total economic and social disaster" should 34-year-old Indian-origin Mandani win Tuesday's mayoral election.
In a Truth Social post, Trump also threatened that he would limit federal funds for New York City to a minimum if New Yorkers vote for Mamdani, whom he labelled a communist. Mamdani is a democratic socialist.
"If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival," he wrote.
