In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump said it was “highly unlikely” that he would contribute to federal funding, “other than the very minimum” if Mamdami wins the election. With Mamdani in charge, Trump said the city has “zero chance of success, or even survival.”
“Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job,” said Trump.
Cuomo is running as an independent. He previously served three terms as the governor of New York, but resigned in 2021 after sexual assault allegations.
During a mayoral debate in October , Mamdani and Cuomo faced off, along with Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani was specifically asked about how comments he has made about Israel and the war in Gaza have left the Jewish community feeling “unsafe and concerned about their future” in the city.
“I look forward to being a mayor for every single person that calls this city home,” said Mamdani, which includes Jewish New Yorkers. He said that he wouldn’t only protect the Jewish community, but celebrate and cherish them. He would increase funding for hate crime prevention programs to ensure protection outside of synagogues. He would also ensure that learning about Judaism was part of the school curriculum.
However, Cuomo interrupted: “Not everything is a TikTok video.”
“You’re the saviour of the Jewish people? You won’t denounce globalized intifada, which means kill Jews,” Cuomo said. “There’s unprecedented fear in New York.”
Cuomo also pointed out that 650 rabbis signed a letter denouncing Mamdani’s candidacy. Since the mayoral debate, more than a thousand rabbis have signed it. The letter called out Mamdani for delegitimizing the Jewish community by refusing to condemn “violent slogans, deny Israel’s legitimacy, and accuse the Jewish state of genocide.”
New York has the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel.
