Trump Allies Strategize to Boost Cuomo in NYC Mayoral Race

Advisers to former President Donald Trump are reportedly strategizing to bolster Andrew Cuomo"s candidacy in the upcoming New York City mayoral election, aimed at preventing Democratic socialist Zahraan Mamdani from winning. Discussions among Trump’s allies include potential offers of positions within the Trump administration to current Mayor Eric Adams and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa in exchange for their withdrawal from the race.

Billionaire John Catsimatidis confirmed that Trump is actively concerned about the election"s outcome and is seeking ways to influence it. Sources indicate that initial contacts have already been made with Adams" team, despite denials from both the White House and the mayor"s press secretary regarding any negotiations.

This maneuvering comes as the race heats up ahead of the November election, where Cuomo’s return to political prominence could reshape the city’s leadership landscape. The potential impact of these discussions raises questions about the influence of national figures on local elections.

As previously reported, Trump"s involvement in local politics underscores a growing trend where national figures seek to sway local outcomes. Observers are left to wonder how this strategy will unfold in the coming weeks.
