<p>Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic socialist nominee for mayor of New York City, promised on Thursday that his administration would be President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;worst nightmare.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;My administration would be Donald Trump&#8217;s worst nightmare,&#8221; Mamdani said Thursday at a press conference.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve said that my approach to Washington will not be a reflexive one, it is one that will be in opposition to Donald Trump&#8217;s administration when it comes for New Yorkers, when it comes at the expense of the welfare of the people that I&#8217;m seeking to serve,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p>Mamdani&#8217;s comments come as Trump is <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/nyregion/trump-nyc-mayor-cuomo-adams-mamdani.html">reportedly</a> weighing getting involved in the Big Apple&#8217;s mayoral race to try and stop Mamdani from winning.</p>
<p>The New York state assemblyman representing parts of Queens won the Democratic primary in June in an upset that threw the New York City mayor&#8217;s race into chaos.</p>
<p>&#8220;What threatens the president so much about my campaign and our movement is the fact that it showcases the way in which he&#8217;s betrayed the very people that we are seeking to serve,&#8221; Mamdani said.</p>
<p>Mamdani said that Trump has not called him, and he accused his rival, former governor Andrew Cuomo, of working with Trump to defeat Mamdani.</p>
<p>&#8220;I will tell Donald Trump the same thing I&#8217;m telling you right now,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;s what makes me different than Andrew Cuomo. Whatever I say on a sidewalk, I say in a press conference, I say in a board room, it&#8217;s the same agenda. It&#8217;s fighting for the same people. And I will make that case to everyone. What I will not do, however, is pick up the phone to call Donald Trump, to ask how we can work together to defeat the will of Democrats across this city. That&#8217;s what Andrew Cuomo did.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cuomo responded to the attack, saying Mamdani was &#8220;short on facts and long on nonsense.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And while I&#8217;m here, let&#8217;s be real- Donald Trump would go through you like a hot knife through butter. You would be a dream come true to the Republican party,&#8221; Cuomo posted on X.</p>

<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t need to take me at my word or take Andrew Cuomo at his,&#8221; Mamdani said at the press conference. &#8220;You need only look at the actions of the Trump administration since I won the Democratic primary. How else can you describe a president who has proposed denaturalizing the Democratic nominee of New York City? How else can you describe a president who has sought to entertain suggestions of deporting me, of arresting me, of taking control of the city over the will of New Yorkers? Those are the actions of a president who is afraid of the fact that I will actually deliver in a manner where he has simply betrayed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mamdani has described himself as a Democratic socialist and has previously called for the &#8220;abolition of private property&#8221; and &#8220;seizing the means of production,&#8221; key Marxist concepts.</p>
<p>He is running on a litany of controversial and expensive policies, including government-run grocery stores, free buses, free childcare, a rent freeze for more than two million New Yorkers living in rent-subsidized housing, and deploying mental health professionals rather than police in crises. Mamdani also wants to raise both income and corporate taxes.</p>
