Donald Trump Endorses Andrew Cuomo in New York Mayoral Race
U.S. President Donald TRUMP threw his weight behind former New York governor Andrew Cuomo in a last-minute endorsement as voters headed to the polls. The endorsement, made via Truth Social on November 3, positioned Cuomo as the pragmatic choice over progressive rival Zohran Mamdani. Trump framed the election as a binary decision, warning that federal funding for New York City could dry up under a Mamdani administration.
The endorsement sets up a dramatic political showdown, with Mamdani remaining the statistical favorite according to decentralized prediction markets. A Cuomo victory WOULD mark an improbable comeback for the scandal-plagued former governor, whose independent campaign has struggled to gain traction until now.
