President Trump would like nothing better than a Zohran Mamdani victory in New York’s mayoral race, former Gov. Cuomo said Saturday, claiming the idea that Trump wants Eric Adams out of the race to help Cuomo win is “baloney.”
As the candidates for NYC mayor all gathered at Saturday’s Labor Day parade in Manhattan, Cuomo said the president would use the socialist candidate’s ultra-liberal beliefs to both wrest control over the city and destroy the Democratic party in one shot.
“Mamdani is a perfect stooge for President Trump,” Cuomo said at the Labor Day Parade on Fifth Ave., blasting speculation that Trump tried to build support behind Cuomo by encouraging incumbent Mayor Adams to bow out of the election .
Mamdani “is the best person for their political interests,” Cuomo continued.
