Trump commented on the results of the New York mayoral election

As a result of the victory in the election of the mayor of New York socialist Zohran Mamdani, the States have lost a small part of their sovereignty, President Donald Trump said during a speech at a business forum in Florida.

"Last night in In New York, we have lost a little sovereignty. But we'll figure it out. Don't worry," he said.

Mamdani, a socialist with Indian roots, born in In Uganda, he became the first Muslim elected mayor of New York. He will take the oath of office in January 2026. Trump, who supported Mamdani's rival, ex-governor of New York Andrew Cuomo, called the new mayor a "one hundred percent communist fanatic" and threatened to cut off federal funding for the city.

At the same time, Trump said that he would like Mamdani to succeed. However, he added at the same time that Mamdani should be kind to him. This was stated by the US president in an interview with Fox News.

"I would like the new mayor to succeed because I love New York... I think he should be nice to me," Trump said.
