Donald Trump declared if he was to choose between Zohran Mamdani and his main rival Andrew Cuomo as the mayor of New York, he would prefer a “bad Democrat” over a “Communist.”

"Because if you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you’re sending there. So I don’t know that he’s won, and I’m not a fan of Cuomo one way or another, but if it’s gonna be between a bad Democrat and a communist, I’m gonna pick the bad Democrat all the time, to be honest with you." Trump said in an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday.

Multiple reports stated that opinion polls have indicated that Zohran Mamdani is ahead of his main rival, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, ahead of the 4 November polls.
