Republican President Donald Trump spoke on the phone with independent mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo recently about the New York City mayor’s race, a Wednesday New York Times report revealed. The former governor’s campaign has disputed the reporting.
Trump, who has thus far stayed out of the crowded contest to replace Mayor Eric Adams, spoke with the former governor as he is weighing whether to get involved with the crowded mayoral general election, according to the Times, which cited three anonymous sources. He also reportedly had conversations with a Republican Congress member, New York businessmen, and pollsters about who has the best shot at overcoming socialist Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani.
