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.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram: ‘We Are Not Ignoring the Law’: DHS Responds to Detainments
A 19-year-old college student from Georgia remained in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody following her arrest during a traffic stop. Ximena Arias-Cristobal was detained in Georgia when her dark truck was mistakenly identified as a vehicle linked to an illegal turn. Although all charges against her were dropped after a review of dash cam footage, her immigration status has remained in question. On May 21, she was granted a bond, allowing her release to her family. She reportedly still faces potential deportation to Mexico as ICE has initiated proceedings.
Despite the dismissal of charges, Arias-Cristobal remains in ICE custody, having lived in Whitfield County since she was four. City officials, including the city administrator and prosecuting attorney, have confirmed the error and informed Arias-Cristobal’s legal team.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram: ‘Rigged System’: GOP Senators Thwart Nominee After Defying Trump
President Donald Trump pulled his nomination of Ed Martin for U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C. The White House was working to secure his nomination despite declining support from some Republican senators.
Instead, Trump plans for Martin to be an associate deputy attorney general and pardon attorney. Martin will likely recommend pardons for defendants involved in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. In this photo gallery, we review the defiance from Republican senators.
Martin’s nomination ran into significant hurdles, including his failure to disclose nearly 200 media appearances. He claimed under oath that he could not recall controversial statements, raising concerns among GOP senators.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said, “Last Friday, we received responses from Mr. Martin to our questions, and it raised even more questions. Mr. Martin made a number of false statements and contradictory statements that are easily disproven by the material he himself disclosed in his Senate Judiciary Questionnaire. And it wasn’t just to my questions—it was to Chairman Grassley’s questions as well.”
