President Donald Trump encouraged voters to back former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in tomorrow’s New York City mayoral election, making the endorsement hours after Tesla chief Elon Musk did the same in a last-minute push against Democratic New York State assemblymember Zohran Mamdani.
Trump said in a Truth Social post, “Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice,” adding, “You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job.”
The Republican president said he would rather see Cuomo, a former Democratic candidate running as an independent, win the election than Mamdani, whom Trump called a “communist with no experience.”
