On Tuesday, former US President Donald Trump intensified his offensive against New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, accusing him of being a 'self-professed Jew Hater.' As the election looms, Trump has thrown his endorsement behind Andrew Cuomo, the former New York State Governor running independently.

Trump took to Truth Social to urge Jewish voters against supporting Mamdani, a New York State Assembly member and democratic socialist of Ugandan-Indian descent. Trump warned that a Mamdani victory could spell economic and social disaster for New York City.

Mamdani, son of filmmaker Mira Nair and author Mahmood Mamdani, went head-to-head with Cuomo in the Democratic primary, coming out victorious. As Election Day approaches, Mamdani campaigns on promises to reduce living costs in the city. Meanwhile, the current mayor, Eric Adams, has exited the race amid scandals.
