President backs Cuomo in election eve Truth Social post as Mamdani hits back at Trump’s ‘threat – it is not the law’
On the eve of New York’s well-watched mayoral election, Donald Trump issued a threat to its voters: stop Zohran Mamdani or pay.
“If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “I don’t want to send, as President, good money after bad.”
Trump’s comments echo those broadcast on Sunday during his appearance on CBS’s 60 minutes, in which he said: “It’s gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you’re sending there.”

California is really interesting actually. Yes over all they are a blue state. But the blue comes from exactly where you think it does. The metropolitan centers of the state are where the majority of people live. But the majority of agriculture comes from the valleys where people are much more right leaning. California is so politically diverse that there is regular infighting about breaking up into multiple states. One really commonly petitioned and proposed split is the creation of the State of Jefferson.

But also, Northern California and Southern California regularly are seen as in opposition to each other. Central California feels completely different than any of the aforementioned regions. Then there is the desert area.
The real reason it could stand on its own as a country is because of that diversity. Not to mention, if California split from the Union, in theory, the USA would have to continue to import goods from them because of how reliant we are as a country on that singular region.
