As His Rivals Attack, Mamdani Focuses on a Different Enemy: Trump

In the face of heightened attacks from his mayoral rivals in New York City, Zohran Mamdani intends to focus his campaign message on a different enemy: President Trump.

Mr. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor, began a Five Boroughs Against Trump tour on Monday in Manhattan, with endorsements from three Democrats: Ruth Messinger, a former Manhattan borough president; Keith Powers, a City Council member; and Harvey Epstein, a state assemblyman.

Mr. Mamdani said that Mr. Trump was responsible for kicking more than one million New Yorkers off Medicaid, cutting funding for food stamps and slashing funding for housing programs.

“We know that there is no borough that will be free from Trump’s cruelty,” he said.
