Donald Trump has privately admitted Mamdani is 'unbeatable'
President Donald Trump has told allies in private that he believes progressive Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani is unbeatable in the New York City mayor’s race, according to a new report.
The Wall Street Journal cites a senior White House official as saying that the president and his team think the 34-year-old is on course to beat independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in November 4’s election, given his commanding lead in the latest polling.
The president is reportedly not sold on the idea of Sliwa dropping out, believing it would not help Cuomo advance his case, despite his own son Eric Trump joining businessmen like Bill Ackman and John Catsimatidis in calling on the GOP man to stand aside.
Addressing the race with reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump indicated reluctant support for Cuomo and said, “It’s really a question of would I rather have a Democrat or a communist? And I would rather have a Democrat than a communist.”

Mamdani is the only Democrat in the race. Cuomo is endorsed by Trump and has agreed to cooperate with ICE. People need to quit the bullshit and stop giving airtime to the sore loser.
