Raw Story: Trump all but confirms plot to meddle in major [New York City] election

President Donald Trump all but confirmed his well-reported plot to interfere in the New York City mayoral race on Thursday evening, reported Politico’s Emily Ngo.

Asked by reporters whether he is working on making a candidate withdraw from the race, Trump said, “No, I don’t like to see a communist become mayor. I won’t tell you that. And I don’t think you can win, unless you have one on one.” His remarks appeared to reference Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, a young Muslim with ties to the Democratic Socialists of America, and his main challenger, disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who lost the Democratic primary to Mamdani earlier this year but is still running in the general election under a separate ballot line.

“I would like to see two people drop out and have it be one on one,” Trump continued. “And I think that’s a race.”

This follows reporting that Trump is considering extending an offer of a position in his administration to incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who is running far behind either Mamdani or Cuomo, to make him end his campaign. It also comes after Adams reportedly met with a Trump adviser in Miami, despite his public denials that he is considering any such offer.

Also potentially in contention for a job offer to exit the race is the Republican nominee, Curtis Sliwa.

Trump has repeatedly attacked Mamdani since his victory in the race, calling him a “Communist Lunatic” and even suggesting at one point that he would use his executive power to somehow overturn the election result.

Midwesterner: SHOCK POLL: 23% of CONSERVATIVE New York voters back socialist mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani

Just 40% of conservative voters are supporting Republican Curtis Sliwa

The chances of New York City electing a member of the Democratic Socialists of America as mayor seem to be growing by the day.

A shock poll released this week by the Siena Research Institute shows 23% of self-described conservative voters plan to back socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, who is running as a Democrat. Election Day is November 4.

The poll, of 813 registered voters taken August 4-7, found just 40% of conservative voters are supporting Republican Curtis Sliwa. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams captures 9% while former Gov. Andrew Cuomo earns 18% of votes from conservative voters.

Oddly, the same poll found Mamdani with just a 7% favorable rating among conservative voters. 42% of conservatives view Sliwa favorably.

The poll found Mamdani well under the significant 50% threshold, indicating Mamdani opponents could theoretically consolidate their support to thwart the socialist who has pledged higher taxes for rich city residents, government-owned grocery stores, and less privately owned property.. 44% of voters plan to support him in the general election. Cuomo is in second at 25%.

Meanwhile, 76% of conservative voters have a favorable view of President Donald Trump. 77% of voters who identify as Republicans view him favorably. Those results are significantly lower than other surveys that find support for Trump among Republicans in the high 80s or low 90s.

This is a good omen for the 2026 mid-terms!
