Fraudster Cuomo falsely claims Trump will intervene on his behalf
In the unfolding drama of the 2025 New York City mayoral race, a surprising twist has emerged. Reports suggest that former Governor Andrew Cuomo, now running as an independent after losing the Democratic primary, is seeking the support of President Donald Trump, despite their past criticisms of each other. However, it is currently uncertain but appears unlikely that Trump will formally endorse Cuomo.
Trump, who is said to be quietly weighing an endorsement in the race, is seeking advice from Republican figures on the candidate best able to defeat the Democratic nominee, Zohran Mamdani. Cuomo is one potential candidate Trump has been considering, with rumours of a private call between the two circulating. Yet, Cuomo's team denies any recent conversations or coordination on the race.
Cuomo's campaign explicitly denies counting on Trump's support or any form of coordination. The former governor's comments about Trump's hypothetical support are framed as speculation rather than an endorsement. Cuomo told donors he believed Trump would urge Republicans to vote for Cuomo instead of Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, but his campaign insiders frame this as Cuomo responding to a hypothetical scenario, not a confirmed alliance.
Democratic frontrunner Zohran Mamdani and others criticize Cuomo's alleged outreach to Trump, viewing it as conflicting with Democratic voters' preferences. Meanwhile, Sliwa distances himself from Trump's involvement, indicating it wouldn't help the race.
Cuomo's association with a nursing-home death toll, a fracking ban, and costly "climate" policies may deter potential supporters, making it questionable whether Trump would actually back Cuomo's bid for mayor. The voters' experience of being governed by Cuomo may have contributed to many Democrats choosing Mamdani in the primary.
Moreover, Cuomo's recent book deal, which some consider illegal as his staff produced it, may also be a point of contention for potential supporters. Cuomo's attempts to win elections through courting rich donors may not be as effective this time, as voters have learned from past experiences.
As the race heats up, it remains to be seen whether Trump will officially endorse Cuomo or if Cuomo's bid for the mayoral seat will be bolstered by the former president's support. For now, the New York City mayoral race continues to be a fascinating spectacle, filled with twists and turns.
