Fresh off losing New York’s Democratic primary for mayor to Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday ramped up his efforts to push the incumbent mayor, Eric Adams, out of the race.
On the campaign trail, Mamdani galvanized voters with his pitches on how to rein in the city’s sky-high cost of living, from fare-free buses to a rent freeze on rent-stabilized apartments.
During a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Trump was asked about the New York City mayor’s race. Mamdani won the Democratic primary last month, drawing the ire of Trump. Mamdani is a self-described democratic socialist. Trump has consistently referred to Mamdani as a communist; Mamdani has said that he is not.
The Times published a report citing hacked documents that show Mamdani identified as "Black or African American" on his application.
Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman representing northwest Queens, last month shocked the political establishment by trouncing the longtime front-runner, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose name recognition, experience and support of billionaires and corporations, made him the favorite.
