“”And you don’t need to say or take Andrew Cuomo to his, “said Mamdani.” You just have to watch the actions of the Trump administration since I won the Democratic primary.

How can you otherwise describe a president who sought to entertain the suggestions of expulsion, to stop, to take control of the city on the will of New Yorkers? It is the actions of a president who is afraid of the fact that I will really deliver in a way he is simply betrayed. “”
