Left-wing leader Zohran Mamdani has been elected mayor of New York City. According to media reports late on November 4 (Tuesday) local time, Mamdani defeated his challenger Andrew Cuomo by a wide margin to secure the victory. News from AFP.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has already threatened to stop sending federal funds to the city if the leftist Johran Mamdani is elected in the mayoral election of New York City.

After the Democratic candidates won the important elections held in various parts of the United States, the White House X Handle reminded the voters that "the president of the country is still Donald Trump".

These elections include New York City's mayoral election, New Jersey's gubernatorial election, and Virginia's gubernatorial election. In his first comments on the election results, President Trump blamed Republicans' poor showing on absentee ballots and the ongoing government shutdown.

"Trump wasn't on the ballot and the shutdown is why Republicans lost the election today," he wrote on Truth Social.

In these elections, Democrat Zohran Mamdani was elected the first Muslim mayor of New York City. He is also the youngest mayor elected in several generations. Mamdani, 34, quickly became popular in the party, capitalizing on the enthusiasm of young voters and using social media. However, his candidature also created some controversy within the party.

Mamdani defeated independent candidate and former Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo, who was trying to make a political comeback after resigning four years ago amid scandal.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump called Mamdani a "communist" and said he would withhold funding for the city if he wins.

"It's going to be hard for me to give a lot of money to New York," Donald Trump said in a TV interview before the election. Because if there is a communist mayor, the money sent there is nothing but a complete waste.”

It should be noted that Trump supported Cuomo by avoiding the Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa
