Trump Makes Threat, Rips Hochul with 1-Word Takedown After Gov Backs Mamdani

New York Governor Kathy Hochul endorsed Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani for mayor on September 14, 2025, intensifying the mayoral race in New York City.
This endorsement followed Mamdani's upset primary win over Andrew Cuomo and occurred amid concerns from some Democrats and Jewish groups about Mamdani's progressive and Palestinian-supportive stances.
President Donald Trump publicly criticized the endorsement on September 15, 2025, calling Mamdani a 'communist lunatic' and suggested federal funding to New York could be at risk, framing the race nationally.
A CBS News/YouGov poll from September 7-13 shows Mamdani leads especially among younger, college-educated, and voters opposing Trump, while voters remain divided on crime policy and the city's direction.
The endorsement and ensuing federal funding threat have sharpened national focus on the contest, marking a potential defining moment for Democratic politics and fiscal relations affecting New York City.
