Speculation surrounds President Trump's involvement in the NYC mayoral election, with Andrew Cuomo's team denying reports of Cuomo having recent talks with Trump. Frontrunner Zohran Mamdani condemned the purported conversations as a betrayal, branding them as disqualifying. Trump has criticized Mamdani repeatedly, labeling him as a communist. Mayor Adams, under scrutiny for his ties to Trump, stated that his discussions with the president focus on aiding New York City and suggested that Trump’s involvement may aim to disrupt the Democratic candidate's chances.
"Didn’t happen," Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi wrote on social media, denying the rumored call between Cuomo and Trump about the mayoral race.
Frontrunner Zohran Mamdani expressed outrage at the reported calls, stating, "This is not just a shady backroom deal by a cynical politician, it is disqualifying."
Trump has been openly critical of Mamdani, labeling him a 'communist,' and emphasizing that his election would be disastrous for New York.
