\n\tDonald Trump<\/a> urged New Yorkers to cast their ballots for his one-time nemesis Andrew Cuomo<\/a> rather than the front-runner in the mayor\u2019s race, Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani<\/a>, or even Republican Curtis Sliwa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a Truth Social post on Monday evening, Trump wrote: \u201cIf 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, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival! It can only get worse with a Communist at the helm, and I don\u2019t want to send, as President, good money after bad. It is my obligation to run the Nation, and it is my strong conviction that New York City will be a Complete and Total Economic and Social Disaster should Mamdani win. His principles have been tested for over a thousand years, and never once have they been successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTrump added: \u201cI would much rather see a Democrat, who has had a Record of Success, WIN, than a Communist with no experience and a Record of COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE. He was nothing as an Assemblyman, ranked at the bottom of the class and, as Mayor of potentially, again, the Greatest City in the World, HE HAS NO CHANCE to bring it back to its former Glory! We must also remember this \u2014 A vote for Curtis Sliwa (who looks much better without the beret!) is a vote for Mamdani. Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job. He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tElon Musk, who was the head of DOGE before a falling out with Trump last spring, also backed Cuomo, writing: \u201cRemember to vote tomorrow in New York! Bear in mind that a vote for Curtis is really a vote for Mumdumi or whatever his name is. VOTE CUOMO!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMamdani\u2019s campaign has trumpeted Trump\u2019s support for Cuomo, believing that they would benefit from the anti-Trump sentiment in the city.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCongratulations, @AndrewCuomo<\/a>. I know how hard you worked for this,\u201d Mamdani posted on X on Sunday evening, after Trump indicated that he would back the former governor of the state. On Monday, Mamdani also touted Musk\u2019s endorsement of Cuomo, writing that it \u201conly cost $959 million in tax breaks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels, has declined to drop out of the race, despite the urging of Mamdani\u2019s detractors that he is splitting the vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump urged New Yorkers to cast their ballots for his one-time nemesis Andrew Cuomo rather than the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27629,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[13700,80,154,153,17397,9,11,14905,10,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-27628","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-2025-elections","9":"tag-andrew-cuomo","10":"tag-curtis-sliwa","11":"tag-donald-trump","12":"tag-electionline","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-headlines","15":"tag-new-york-mayor","16":"tag-new-york-news","17":"tag-zohran-mamdani"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27628\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
