1:06Now PlayingPresident Trump railed against Democrats in Congress over the historic government shutdown after the party swept three major local elections in the US.
“We lost a little bit of sovereignty last night in New York,” he said, of Zohran Mamdani's victory.
Mamdani is set to take on what’s considered the second-hardest job in the US: running New York City. His biggest challenge will be dealing with the man with the tougher job, Trump.
Mamdani, 34, pulled off a historic win in New York’s mayoral race with a slew of promises aimed at making life more affordable for residents. The democratic socialist received more than 50% of votes, while former Governor Andrew Cuomo — who ran as an independent — got just over 40%. Republican Curtis Sliwa managed about 7%.
For Mamdani to keep his campaign promises, he’ll require more money from the federal government — which provided over $7 billion in revenue for the city’s budget this year. But Trump has already derided him as a “communist lunatic” and made clear that he’ll squeeze access to funds.
