White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed questions from Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy concerning President Trump’s stance on New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who has been accused of having ties to terrorism by a Republican Congressman. Leavitt stated that Trump opposes Mamdani's election but hasn’t explicitly called for his deportation. She suggested that if the allegations against Mamdani are true, they warrant investigation. Mamdani, having won the Democratic primary, faces significant backlash regarding his background and policies from conservative figures.
"I haven't heard him say that about deportation, but he does not want this individual to be elected, given his radical policies that will crush New York City."
"If the claims about Zohran Mamdani are true, it's something that should be investigated, but I haven't seen those claims."
