After months of declining to weigh in, President Donald Trump has revealed his preferred candidate in the New York City mayoral race.
“If it’s going to be between a bad Democrat and a communist,” Trump told CBS’ Norah O’Donnell, “I’m gonna pick the bad Democrat all the time, to be honest with you.”
New Yorkers will make that choice between socialist Zohran Mamdani and Democrat Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday. Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa also remains in the race. Mamdani currently holds at 13.7 point lead over Cuomo, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.
Trump said he will withhold funding from New York if Mamdani becomes mayor.
