President Donald Trump criticized New York City mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani and renewed a threat to withhold federal funding from the city if Mamdani wins. The criticism followed Mayor Eric Adams's announcement that he is suspending his campaign after pressure from the president and others to improve Andrew Cuomo's chances. Trump wrote on Truth Social that Mamdani is a "self proclaimed New York City Communist" who will have problems with Washington and claimed Mamdani needs presidential funding to fulfill "FAKE Communist promises."
