Mamdani and Cuomo campaigns say candidates would collaborate with White House if elected

Socialist Zohran Mamdani and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York City mayoral candidates, said they would collaborate with the Trump administration if elected, risking their resistance credentials.

President Donald Trump has loomed over the mayoral election in the United States’s largest city, with many in the blue bastion eager to know how the candidates will deal with the president. Mamdani and Cuomo, the two frontrunners, have attempted to balance necessary cooperation and resistance. However, both notably stressed the extent to which they would be willing to cooperate with Trump, likely cognizant of retaliation if they wouldn’t.
