If Trump wants to shift the mayor’s race, he needs – Latest News
Kudos to John Catsimatidis for his cautious account of his final call with President Donald Trump, which appears to characterize the pondering of Queens’ No. 1 son higher than the many “anonymous” rumors floating the declare that Trump thinks ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo is the metropolis’s best hope.
Rumors that you’ve to suppose are literally “wishcasting” from the Cuomo camp.
We totally imagine the prez “is concerned about the New York City race,” simply as Cats tells it, and “does not want a socialist mayor.”
But the WABC CEO isn’t the one claiming the White House supplied Mayor Eric Adams an administration job to get him out of the race.
No, planting that story is way more doubtless to come from a rival candidate, maybe the one who’s been saying for weeks that Trump would step on this method.
(And the one who to today denies having a factor to do with these “Vote for Cuomo, not the homo” assaults on Ed Koch in the 1977 mayoral race.)

Of course, there’s no scarcity of chutzpah on this race, even from the nominally Muslim candidate: Zohran Mamdani referred to as an “emergency” press convention to condemn the White House “election interference” and “meddling.”
Election interference?
Meddling?
Pretty wealthy, approaching the heels of Mamdani’s collusion with practically all his Democratic main “rivals” and the Working Families Party in Operation “Don’t Rank Evil Andrew” to derail the ex-gov.
Plus, Mamdani repeatedly slammed Cuomo during the main refusing varied and varied native debates — but now himself has ruled out exhibiting up for any “unofficial” debates in the general-election season.

Who’s hiding now, Zoh?
Anyway, if Trump is brainstorming methods to save the metropolis, he can absolutely get more imaginative.
We don’t see how he’ll get Curtis Sliwa to drop out: The Republican nominee says the solely method he’s leaving the race is that if he’s “hit by a Mack truck.”
But Cuomo is likely to be open to another job to revive his political profession — how about ambassador to Italy? to the Vatican?
Heck, take into consideration how to tempt Mamdani.
Offer to fulfill his most important lifelong dream: Make him ambassador to Palestine.
Hamas will love this man!
