Trump 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%.
  • After a Nov. 2 `60 Minutes` interview, Trump repeated that a vote for Curtis Sliwa, Republican nominee, is a vote for Mamdani and said he preferred Cuomo over the democratic socialist.
  • Record 735,317 early votes have been cast, making Nov. 4 a high-turnout contest, while polling shows Mamdani leading and the race tightening against Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.
  • 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.
