Aug. 7 (UPI) -- New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani says former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo should be disqualified from the race due to an alleged call with the president.
That Cuomo recently spoke with President Donald Trump regarding the city's mayoral race is in doubt, but Mamdani called the potential of such a conversation "disqualifying" for Cuomo.
"This is not just a shady backroom deal by a cynical politician; it is disqualifying," Mamdani said in a prepared statement on Wednesday.
He also held a news conference on Thursday morning and was interviewed by a local radio station to address that matter, despite denials that such a conversation happened between Trump and Cuomo.
