Speaking in Lower Manhattan Thursday (August 7), New York City Democratic Mayoral Candidate, Zohran Mamdani, blasted rival Andrew Cuomo over reports saying he has spoken directly with U.S. Republican President, Donald Trump.
Mamdani spoke just outside 26 Federal Plaza, the location of Federal Immigration Court. While there, he drew on his own immigrant roots as well.
“It is at this very site that we understand the cost of this news that former Governor Cuomo has been conspiring with President Trump about the fate of this city, about the future of this City, about the facts of this race. It is knowledge that is a betrayal of everything that we stand for as New Yorkers,” Mamdani said.
Previously, Trump has publicly stated that Cuomo should stay in the race after losing the primary to Mamdani.
Cuomo, for his part, spent much of the primary saying he would stand up to Trump if he were to become mayor.
Mamdani took direct aim at the former New York governor turned city mayoral candidate.
“He would actually have a conversation with the very president who is stealing food from the hungry, who is throwing New Yorkers and Americans from coast to coast off of their health care, and doing so all in service of yet another significant wealth transfer.”
Trump is a native New Yorker. His involvement in the campaign has seen the sitting U.S. president floating the idea of having Mamdani arrested if he were to interfere with immigration raids.
He’s also called Mamdani a communist, which Mamdani denies.
“My approach to Washington will… be in opposition to Donald Trump’s administration when it comes… at the expense of the welfare of the people that I am seeking to serve,” Mamdani said. “If the president and the administration is looking to work for the benefit of New Yorkers, which is what he spent so much of his campaign speaking about, that is a different conversation.”
