Trump threatens to cut NYC’s federal funds if socialist candidate Mamdani wins, though he lacks legal authority.
President Donald Trump warned that New York City could lose federal funding if Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic mayoral candidate and self-identified democratic socialist, wins in November.
Speaking on Newsmax and at a press conference with Argentina’s president, Trump labeled Mamdani a "communist," accused him of being unqualified and hostile to law enforcement, and threatened to withhold aid, though no legal mechanism allows such action.
Mamdani, who leads in recent polls, has rejected the label, advocating for policies like free transit and a $30 minimum wage.
Governor Kathy Hochul defended him and dismissed Trump’s threats as politically motivated, noting federal funding is controlled by Congress.
The race remains competitive with Mamdani facing Republican Curtis Sliwa and former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
