Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani, who is running for New York City mayor, zeroed in on President Donald Trump while speaking to reporters on Thursday.
His comments came after a report that the president was thinking of getting involved in the race. Mamdani said if he wins, his approach will be to oppose the Trump administration, Fox News reported.
The outlet noted that former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is an independent candidate for mayor. “Trump, according to a New York Times report this week, recently spoke on the phone with Cuomo,” the outlet added, “and has been talking with associates about who has the best chance to beat Mamdani between Cuomo, current mayor Eric Adams, and Republican Curtis Sliwa.”
