Former President Donald Trump is considering intervening in the 2025 New York City mayoral race, according to multiple reports citing the New York Times. Trump’s potential involvement appears focused on blocking Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani. Sources indicate that Trump recently discussed the race directly with Andrew Cuomo, a former New York governor and his longtime associate. Mamdani, who is leading the mayoral race, has faced criticism from Cuomo and others, with Cuomo reportedly opposing Mamdani’s rent-controlled apartment despite his wealth. Mamdani has accused Cuomo and Trump of conspiring to influence the election. The race has drawn attention due to Mamdani’s progressive platform and his growing lead, as well as concerns expressed by some community members about his potential impact as mayor.
