New provocations from Trump
The latest crescendo of attacks came on Tuesday (03/11), when Trump asked New Yorkers to vote for former New York governor Andrew Cuomo instead of Mamdani, characterizing the former Democratic governor as the best choice for the city.
Trump expressed his displeasure with Mamdani’s rise in polls, warning of cuts to funding if he is elected. Specifically, he stated that New Yorkers “have no other choice” and must support Cuomo, who is now running in the election as an independent candidate.
