Trump Endorses Cuomo for N.Y.C. Mayor on Eve of Election

For weeks, President Trump has strongly suggested that he would prefer that Andrew M. Cuomo, the former governor, win the New York City mayor’s race.

He has mocked Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee and front-runner, calling him a “‘liddle’ communist” (he is a democratic socialist). And the president has made a point of deriding Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate, whom Mr. Cuomo has tried to push out of the race so he could reap more of the Republican vote.

Finally, on Monday evening, hours before Election Day, Mr. Trump made it official.
