President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he believes New York City could soon elect a “communist” mayor and signaled he\u2019d prefer a Democrat to take the reins at City Hall over a far-left candidate.<\/p>\n

Asked during a White House press gaggle whether he\u2019d urge Republican Curtis Sliwa<\/a> to drop out of the race, Trump didn\u2019t endorse anyone, but made clear his concern about current polling with just two weeks to go until Election Day.<\/p>\n

“Well, I looked at the polls and looks like we’re going to have a communist as the mayor of New York,” Trump said. “It’ll be very interesting. But here’s the good news. He’s got to go through the White House<\/a>, everything goes through the White House. At least this White House, it does.”<\/p>\n

Trump appeared to suggest that if Sliwa exited the race, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo<\/a> might close the gap with Democratic socialist nominee Zohran Mamdani<\/a>, but wasn\u2019t confident it would change the outcome.<\/p>\n

“If he [Sliwa] dropped out, he’s not going to win. And not looking too good for Cuomo either,” Trump said. “Maybe if he dropped out, Cuomo would have a little bit of a chance. But not much. Because it looks like the lead is\u2014it\u2019s not a great lead, but it\u2019s big enough that he should be able to win.”<\/p>\n

Pressed on whether he\u2019d be willing to meet with Mamdani if elected, Trump said he would.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I\u2019ll speak to him,” the president said. “I think I have an obligation to speak to him.”<\/p>\n

Still, Trump lamented what he sees as the city\u2019s decline under progressive leadership.<\/p>\n

“I love New York. I’ve always loved New York. I just can’t believe a thing like this is happening,” he said. “I left New York, and we had a mayor<\/a>, [Bill] de Blasio, who was a disaster\u2026 New York was a hot city. And now it\u2019s \u2014 it’s sad to see what’s happening, frankly.”<\/p>\n

“With the communist in charge\u2026 look, you just go back a thousand years. I mean, it’s been done many times, a thousand years. It’s never worked once. So it’s not going to work now.”<\/p>\n

Mamdani, a state assemblyman and longtime Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) member, has embraced calls to legalize prostitution and tax the wealthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His campaign has drawn endorsements from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and other national progressives like Sen. Bernie Sanders<\/a>, I-Vt.<\/p>\n
