Donald Trump has unleashed a political storm amid the New York City mayoral election, warning he may cut federal funding if Zohran Mamdani wins. Calling Mamdani a “Jew hater,” Trump urged Jewish voters not to support the Democratic Socialist candidate, saying New York’s “survival” is at risk.

In a major political shake-up, 33-year-old Indian-American democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani has declared victory in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo. If confirmed, he will become the city’s first Indian-American and Muslim mayor. Born in Uganda and raised in NYC, Mamdani ran on bold progressive ideas. His historic win marks a generational shift in urban politics.
