As Mamdani Opens a Big Lead in NYC's Mayoral Race, President Trump Threatens to Withhold City Funds
Trump claims Mamdani's win would trigger federal funding cuts to NYC, while Mamdani leads polls by up to 18 points and youth turnout surges, officials say.
- In a social media post Monday, Trump warned he would restrict federal funds to New York City if Zohran Mamdani wins the mayoralty, citing concerns over voter enthusiasm. Smith said, `'I think there are Trump parallels when it comes to messaging, when it comes to how to excite voters.'`
- Polls and early voting figures indicate Zohran Mamdani leads with AtlasIntel at 41% to Andrew Cuomo's 34%, while around 735,000 early ballots and more than 100,000 voters under 35 turned out over the weekend.
- Mamdani's campaign has turned free buses and affordable housing into viral posts and held an influencer-only news conference, with Nick Smith noting, `I think there are Trump parallels when it comes to messaging, when it comes to how to excite voters.`
- He said he would prefer 'a Democrat' with a record of success over Mamdani, warning that Mamdani would bring a 'Complete and Total Economic and Social Disaster,' according to the source.
- But Mamdani is heading for a victory Tuesday as a survey of about 1,500 respondents shows a 6.6-point lead, while analysts warn young voters' turnout could decide the race.
