President Donald Trump on Monday night explicitly called on New York City residents to vote for Andrew Cuomo over Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral election.
Trump’s endorsement of the independent candidacy of Cuomo came on the eve of the election, where Curtis Sliwa is the Republican nominee, and where Mamdani has consistently held a solid lead in polls.
“A vote for Curtis Sliwa (who looks much better without the beret!) is a vote for Mamdani,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
