Cuomo tells 'The View' a Mamdani win would be 'gift' for Trump, lead to NYC takeover
Source: ABC News
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo told "The View" on Monday it would be a "gift" to President Donald Trump if Zohran Mamdani wins the election in November and becomes New York City's next mayor.
Cuomo said he's the "last person" Trump wants to see as mayor, citing their relationship while he was governor of New York. "We fought on a daily basis," Cuomo said.
He alleged that a Mamdani win would lead to a federal takeover of New York City and then Trump would use Mamdani as an example during other elections about the dangers of electing a far-left politician.

Mamdanis campaign is refuting Cuomos claims on "The View," instead accusing Cuomo of wanting to roll out the red carpet for the president.

(9,939 posts)we constantly demonize California, East of the Mississippi - the demonize NYC. I wish we could elect a "democratic socialist" here in Texas but it goes against the culture and will never happen.
Who is elected in NYC is up to the people of NYC.

(252 posts)According to Oxford Reference, democratic socialism is a political ideology advocating for socialism to be achieved through democratic means, involving social ownership and control of the means of production while committing to political democracy and opposing authoritarian, revolutionary socialism. This approach distinguishes it from social democracy, which seeks to reform, rather than overthrow, capitalism within existing democratic structures.

The answer would be he is a social pariah and his only skill is being a shady grifter, just as he was in office as our Governor. And he was a fake Democratic Party member who colluded with other fraudsters who ran as D and then caucused with the GOP in the NY State Senate.

He did that for almost a decade, and actual Democratic Party supporters had to primary the false D's. Then Coumo did a few PR stunts to seem liberal, but he has always been beholden to big business.
