Trump, Musk endorse Cuomo over Mamdani in New York election

On the eve of New York City's mayoral vote, President Donald Trump urged residents to back Andrew Cuomo's independent bid over Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, echoing an earlier endorsement from Elon Musk. Trump argued a vote for Republican Curtis Sliwa would aid Mamdani, and threatened to limit federal funds if Mamdani wins, inaccurately labeling him a communist; Mamdani identifies as a democratic socialist. Cuomo, a Democrat running as an independent after losing the primary to Mamdani, was dismissed by Mamdani's camp as a 'puppet' choice of Trump and Musk. Mamdani said he anticipated Trump's support for Cuomo.
