"Trump on Monday warned New York City residents not to vote for Mamdani, whom Trump called a "self proclaimed New York City Communist," and said if Mamdani wins in November, "He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great city." Trump continued: "Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his fake communist promises. He won't be getting any of it, so what's the point of voting for him?""
"Mamdani, who has maintained a commanding lead over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his other opponents in recent general election polling, responded to a montage of clips of Trump calling him a "communist," saying on CNN, "I'm a democratic socialist. I've said that time and again." But Mamdani suggested the president is going through the "stages of grief," as Trump comes to terms with the possibility that a democratic socialist might be elected his hometown mayor."
Sen. Bernie Sanders condemned President Trump for threatening to withhold federal funding from New York City if Zohran Mamdani wins the November mayoral election. Trump warned residents not to vote for Mamdani, labeled him a "self proclaimed New York City Communist," and said a Mamdani victory would create unprecedented problems with Washington and result in withheld funding. Mamdani identified himself as a democratic socialist and said he has stated that repeatedly. Mamdani also suggested Trump is experiencing the stages of grief and is using federal power to influence the local race. Polling shows Mamdani leading former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
