U.S. President Donald Trump has announced his support for former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for the position of Mayor of the city. He threatened to cut federal funding to New York if Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the mayoral election, scheduled for Tuesday. Trump, a Republican, has increasingly inserted himself into the New York City mayoral race, crossing party lines to support Cuomo against Mamdani. He also targeted Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, who is significantly trailing in polls in the majority-Democratic city. Cuomo, who lost to Mamdani in the Democratic primary, is now running for mayor as an independent candidate. The New York City mayoral election is receiving significant attention.
