Trump Accused of 'Interfering' in New York City Mayor's Race
Trump allies reportedly offered administration roles to two mayoral candidates to encourage them to exit the race, aiming to improve Andrew Cuomo's chances against Zohran Mamdani.
- President Donald Trump is accused of interfering in the 2025 New York City mayoral race by seeking to clear the field for Andrew Cuomo.
- Trump allegedly offered administration positions to incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa to make them drop out and face a one-on-one race with Cuomo.
- Cuomo lost the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani and runs as an independent while Mamdani leads the race and calls the interference an affront to democracy.
- Trump criticized Mamdani by labeling him a "Communist Lunatic" and expressed his disapproval of having a communist hold the mayoral position. He also mentioned that winning would be difficult unless the race was narrowed down to a direct contest between two candidates.
- The interference claims highlight tensions in the race and suggest New Yorkers will ultimately decide the mayor in the November election amid ongoing political maneuvering.
