US President Donald Trump has endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race, urging voters not to elect left-wing front-runner Zohran Mamdani. Trump threatened to cut federal funding to New York City if Mamdani wins, calling him a 'communist'. Cuomo, a former Democratic New York governor running as an Independent, responded to Trump's endorsement by saying 'He's not endorsing me. He's opposing Mamdani.' Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, is ahead of Cuomo in opinion polls, with the Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa trailing behind. Trump declined to endorse Sliwa, saying 'A vote for Curtis Sliwa ... is a vote for Mamdani'. Mamdani has rejected accusations of being a communist, describing himself as a democratic socialist. If elected, he would become the city's first Muslim mayor and its youngest in over 100 years.

New Yorkers are projected to elect Zohran Mamdani, a leftist and self-described socialist, as their new mayor, potentially setting up a clash with President Donald Trump. Mamdani's victory is seen as a significant development in the US political landscape, particularly with off-year gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey also taking place. The New York mayoral race has centered on issues such as the cost of living, crime, and how to handle Trump, who has threatened to withhold federal funds from the city if Mamdani wins. Mamdani's rise has sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party, which is grappling with its identity and whether to adopt a more centrist or populist, leftist approach.

The article argues that voting for Curtis Sliwa in the NYC mayoral election is effectively a vote for Zohran Mamdani, as Sliwa is unlikely to win and his votes could be redirected to Andrew Cuomo, potentially preventing Mamdani from winning. The author claims that Mamdani's extreme views have a low ceiling of support and that a large turnout by the 'silent, sane majority' can stop him. The article cites polls showing Mamdani leading but not crossing the 50% line, and suggests that Sliwa voters should strategically vote for Cuomo to prevent a 'socialist experiment' in NYC.
