Trump described Mamdani&#8217;s principles as historically unsuccessful adn warned that a Mamdani victory would lead to economic and social disaster in the city. Despite past criticism of Cuomo,trump emphasized that voters have no real choice but to back him to prevent Mamdani from winning. He also cautioned against splitting the vote by supporting Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, suggesting that doing so would effectively help Mamdani. Trump further threatened to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-administration-declares-transgender-students-are-protected-under-title-ix\/\" title=\"Biden Administration Declares Transgender Students Are Protected Under Title IX\">withhold federal funding<\/a> from New York City if Mamdani were elected.
