NEW YORK: US President Donald Trump has warned on the eve of Tuesday’s election that if Zohair Mamdani, the toxically divisive Democratic Party candidate, becomes the city’s mayor, he will cut funds to it.
Mamdani, a radical member of the Democratic Socialists, is running on the Democratic Party ticket, having won the party nomination in June, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo and sitting Mayor Eric Adams.
“If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home”, Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social.
