Trump says Zohran Mamdani likely to be New York's next mayor unless 2 of his opponents quit the race
Donald Trump suggests Zohran Mamdani's lead in the NYC mayoral race could solidify if two opponents withdraw, but both Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa refuse to quit.
- President Donald Trump stated Thursday that he believes Democrat Zohran Mamdani has a strong chance of winning the New York City mayoral race if two of his main rivals withdraw from the contest.
- This statement followed reports that Trump advisers approached Mayor Eric Adams and candidate Curtis Sliwa about dropping out for federal jobs to aid former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
- Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist who beat Cuomo in the June Democratic primary, has emerged as the frontrunner against Adams, an independent, and Cuomo, a third-party candidate.
- Sliwa denied any discussions and insisted, "That ain't happening," while Adams' spokesperson denied job offers but did not explicitly refute reports; Trump said he wants a one-on-one race to win.
- The events suggest persistent competition among candidates and potential strategic withdrawals could shape New York City's mayoral election outcome on November 4.
