US EditionTrump urges New Yorkers to vote Cuomo for mayor: ‘He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!’
- On Monday, President Donald Trump endorsed Andrew Cuomo and warned he would likely block most federal funding if Zohran Mamdani wins, writing `It is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required`.
- Mamdani's primary victory on June 24 propelled a platform including universal childcare, rent freezes, social housing, free buses, and higher taxes on the top 1%.

- Cuomo told NBC News' `Meet the Press NOW` last month he would not accept Trump's endorsement, while Mamdani mocked Cuomo and said the city can `file lawsuits` to challenge funding cuts.
