So, an endorsement for Mamdani.
Like I’m gonna listen to a pedophile.
Did the pedo forget that New York hates his guts?
Top office in USA says we have no choice in our votes, 2025...
If the Federal Government is shut down, why are ICE and the Secret Service still going to work?
They get paid, of course.
they get paid, but they'd probably do it for free.
Haters gonna hate
Do the right thing, NY. Throw up them middle fingers, say fuck you fascists and vote that man in!!!
Predators of a feather flock together
Mamdani frightens them. Good.
Good, his endorsement will hopefully be the thing to put that old bag out to pasture
I don't exactly have the polling data but I wonder what the expedected shift is from that. I assume the Republicans want to push Sliwas voters to Cuomo, but a Trump endorsement can also scare off democrats that may have been on the fence about Cuomo at a time when his approval is at it's lowest.
This is like a negative endorsement do they have those? A subtraction? If Trump is telling you to vote for a guy, absolutely do not vote for the guy. He has no one but his own interests in mind.
Historically his endorsement results in a net negative for any candidate that he endorses.
"You have no choice." Exactly the kind of choice Trump is working hard to ensure we all have.
One man one vote
Is it too early to talk about the effect on future elections of Trump's endorsement being negative? R candidates in purple states starting to jump ship soon?
It something that's been noted since his first term.
He tends to suck away the oxygen from the rest of the party. Republicans in primaries that he's endorsed have lost. Then he switches endorsements to whomever won, and that candidate barely wins in a district that should have been an easy R win. Also, several state level GOP organizations are struggling for funds and are on the verge of bankruptcy. All the donor money is going to the Trump organization specifically, and he doesn't share. That's as close to literally sucking the oxygen away as you can get in politics.
In a very real way, the GOP is no longer a functioning party at all. The mechanisms of mutual support are not there, and that's the nuts and bolts of what a political party in a democracy does. To succeed at the federal level, they must build the state level. They aren't. They can't, because they gave too much power to a self-absorbed idiot. Sauron put too much power in the One Ring, and now it's a vulnerability.
It's not just that they are undermining democracy. They have no way of functioning in a democracy.
It's quite clear that they only way the GOP wins the midterms is cheating. They know it, we know it. For it to be anything else, Trump would have to behave like someone other than Trump.
If Trump says you should vote for someone thats an obvious sign they are comprimised and should be removed by force.
He's gonna say the same thing about Newsom when he loses the presidential primary to a progressive.
Silver spoon neoliberals aren't on our side, they never were, and they never will be.
Quick edit:
In a Truth Social post on Monday evening, Trump wrote, “If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, (further deranged ramblings...)
His threat is he'd only pay the minimum taxes legally required...
People forget a billionaire tax in NYC taxes trump
Now is exactly the time for a truly progressive candidate. Taking money from AIPAC is a disqualifier.
I sure hope Newsom loses the primary. That dude is just a younger Joe Biden that writes catty tweets. It's fun to read the tweets, but come on... We can all do better.
His policies suck but no ones pushing for a more progressive alternative, california would shift red, idk if yall live out here but plenty of ppl are still trump dickriders
but no ones pushing for a more progressive alternative
What?
The DNC chair has openly been saying he wants a presidential candidate like Mamdani...
Or are you saying no one is campaigning for a governorship a year away?
He doesn't even write the tweets, it's likely an intern
I do not understamd his threat. They have already suspended funding for things in New York before he has been elected.
Also how anyone can be just ok with the president threatening funding in a major city because he doesnt like the candidate is fucking insane. I would say the press should ask every republican in congrsss about this, but they will all say they havent heard or seen what he said and then it will be forgotten in a day.

New Yorkers don't have a choice? That's literally what voting is, choosing.
Literal narcissistic abuser.
This headline is fantastic for Mamdani, plus serves as yet another example of Trump shooting himself in the foot. I want to put it on a billboard.
Go eat a dick, you orange fuck.
I thought he did not want Mamdani to win? Why is he campaigning for him???
This just in: president of the USA says democracy is over.
Oh wait, that's not news at all.
I think he forgets how much New York despises him.
Man I remember when Democrats presented things to voters as not having a choice.
Voters always have a choice.
Democrats haven't they properly noted voting third party is losing with extra steps
Always have, too. It's why those in NYC chose Mamdani to represent the Democrats.

I’m surprised Trump didn’t say it’s illegal to vote for Mamdani.
