Trump claims NYC would lose federal funds if progressive Zohran Mamdani wins mayoral race, calling him a "Communist," though president cannot unilaterally cut funding.
Former President Donald Trump has warned on Truth Social that New York City would lose federal funding if progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the mayoral election, calling Mamdani a “self-proclaimed Communist” and claiming his policy promises are unworkable without presidential approval.
Trump’s comments, made after incumbent Mayor Eric Adams dropped out of the race, come amid heightened political scrutiny of Mamdani’s platform, which includes rent freezes and free transit.
While Trump has not endorsed a specific candidate, he dismissed Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and implied support for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo.
Legal experts note the president lacks unilateral power to cut federal funds, as Congress controls such allocations, and past attempts to withhold money from cities have faced successful legal challenges.
Trump afirma que la ciudad de Nueva York perdería fondos federales si el progresista Zohran Mamdani gana la carrera por la alcaldía, llamándolo un "comunista", aunque el presidente no puede recortar el financiamiento unilateralmente.
