Khaleej Times
|September 17, 2025
Donald Trump criticised New York’s Democratic governor on Monday for endorsing New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, whom he branded a “Liddle’ communist” in a social media post.
-
Mamdani, a 33-year-old New York state assemblyman and self-declared socialist, rocked American politics and the Democratic Party establishment in June by winning the party’s mayoral primary.
He remains the front-runner in polls ahead of the November 4 election to decide who will be the next mayor of America’s most populous city.
