President Donald Trump believes Zohran Mamdani would be “very bad” for the Big Apple and if elected, the Democratic socialist could put New York City’s federal funding at risk.
“He’s a communist… a pure communist,” Trump said of New York State Assemblyman and mayoral race frontrunner Mamdani on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo.
“Let’s say this, if he does get in, I’m going to be president, and he’s going to have to do the right thing,” Trump continued. “They’re not getting any money. He’s got to do the right thing.”
Last week, upstart progressive Zohran Mamdani shocked the political world, as he topped former Governor Andrew Cuomo and the rest of the 11-candidate field in heavily blue New York City’s Democratic Party mayoral primary and took a big step toward becoming the first Muslim mayor of the nation’s most populous city.
Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist state assemblyman from Queens who originally hailed from Uganda, captured 43.5% of the first round unofficial primary results, with Cuomo at 36.4%.
