US EditionTrump considers involvement in New York City mayoral race: NYT
Donald Trump is considering backing former Governor Andrew Cuomo to consolidate anti-Democratic socialist votes against Zohran Mamdani, who leads with 50% in recent polls, sources said.
- A New York Times report says President Donald Trump is weighing ways to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor, after recent briefings by pollsters and a call with Andrew Cuomo.
- Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary in June by nearly 13 points and leads with 44 percent in the Siena Research Institute poll, while Andrew Cuomo trails at 25 percent.
- Mamdani has been campaigning across the city with his 'five boroughs against Trump' tour, vowing to staff legal departments and stating, 'My administration would be Donald Trump's worst nightmare'.
- The White House denies Trump plans to intervene, with Karoline Leavitt saying Trump had no intention of involvement and Trump stating last month, 'I’m not getting involved.'
- Money and donors are reshaping the contest, with wealthy donors backing alternatives to Mamdani and Empower NYC PAC raising over $1 million after a $750,000 boost; the Campaign Finance Board awarded Mamdani $1.6 million, Curtis Sliwa $1.9 million, and Jim Walden $237,000.
