"President Trump will knock Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani on his "tuckus" if he becomes the Big Apple's next mayor, rival Andrew Cuomo contended during Wednesday night's debate. The former governor, when asked about how he plans to work with Trump, said the way to deal with the "hyper-aggressive" president is to confront him. Cuomo, running as an independent, then cast proud socialist Mamdani as simply not up to the task."
"Mamdani shot back, skewering Cuomo as "Trump's puppet." "We heard from Donald Trump's puppet himself, Andrew Cuomo," Mamdani fumed. "You can turn on TV any day of the week, and you will hear Donald Trump share that his pick for mayor is Andrew Cuomo, and he wants Andrew Cuomo to be the mayor, not because it will be good for New Yorkers, but because it will be good for him.""
Andrew Cuomo warned that President Trump would 'knock' Zohran Mamdani 'on his tuckus' if Mamdani became mayor and described the president as 'hyper-aggressive' requiring confrontation. Cuomo emphasized the need to balance adversarial stances with cooperation to secure federal help for the city. Zohran Mamdani labeled Cuomo 'Donald Trump's puppet' and accused Trump of publicly promoting Cuomo for his own benefit rather than New Yorkers'. Mamdani said he would work with Trump on affordability but oppose immigration crackdowns and other hardline policies. Curtis Sliwa criticized contenders who compete for Trump's favor and warned of federal funding cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and NYCHA.
