US EditionCuomo: Mamdani win would lead to Trump New York City takeover
Cuomo warns a Mamdani win could trigger federal intervention by Trump, using NYC as a political example ahead of the 2026 midterms, with Mamdani leading in polls.
- On October 6, 2025, former Governor Andrew Cuomo appeared on The View and argued that Zohran Mamdani winning November’s New York City mayoral election would be a 'gift' to President Donald Trump.
- After being defeated in the Democratic primary—falling short by about 130,000 votes following three cycles of ranked choice voting—Cuomo announced he would remain in the race as an independent candidate.
- He emphasized that his past conflicts with Trump mean he is 'the last person' Trump wants as mayor, while insisting his opponent represents a more extreme political stance than traditional Democrats.
- Cuomo argued that Trump would use Mamdani’s image to criticize Democrats nationwide, while Mamdani’s team responded by highlighting that Cuomo is supported by Trump’s associates.
- With Adams exiting the mayoral race and major endorsements rallying behind Mamdani, the race’s outcome may shape national political dynamics heading into the 2026 midterm elections.
