Donald Trump stunned both parties by endorsing Democrat Andrew Cuomo for New York City mayor while calling rival Zohran Mamdani a “communist threat.” Trump warned he’d cut off federal funds if Mamdani wins, saying New York, his “first home,” wouldn’t survive under leftist leadership. The shocking endorsement has thrown the city’s race into chaos and turned it into a national political brawl.

Zohran Mamdani is shaking up New York politics. With Eric Adams out, Andrew Cuomo circling, and Donald Trump threatening to cut federal funds if Mamdani wins, the Democratic socialist still holds a commanding lead. His rise signals a potential political earthquake for NYC and beyond.
