US President Donald Trump warned that he would withhold federal funding from New York City if Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the upcoming mayoral election scheduled for Tuesday.
In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump wrote, “If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required.”
He added, “It is my strong conviction that New York City will be a Complete and Total Economic and Social Disaster should Mamdani win. His principles have been tested for over a thousand years, and never once have they been successful.”
