Trump threatens to punish New York if Mamdani wins [View all]
On Monday, President Donald Trump threatened to withhold federal funding to New York City if Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani wins, yet another corrupt attempt to influence the outcome of the race.
Trump made the comment after New York Gov. Kathy Hochul endorsed Mamdani in the upcoming election, saying that while she does not agree with Mamdani on everything, he is the one she trusts most to stand up to Trump.
That clearly pissed off Trump, who fired off this missive on Truth Social:
Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has Endorsed the ‘”Liddle’ Communist,” Zohran Mamdani, running for Mayor of New York. This is a rather shocking development, and a very bad one for New York City. How can such a thing happen? Washington will be watching this situation very closely. No reason to be sending good money after bad!
