Democrat mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani on Thursday seized on a report that his independent rival Andrew Cuomo recently spoke to President Trump about the race over the phone, charging the pair have been “conspiring about the fate of this city.”
Mamdani made the accusations standing side-by-side with union members supporting his campaign during an Aug. 7 press conference at 26 Federal Plaza. The building has played host to daily detentions of undocumented immigrants by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
