Mamdani, a Muslim and democratic socialist born in Uganda, won the primary election for New York City mayor in June. Meanwhile, Cuomo is a moderate Democrat who is now an independent who competes in the competition after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic junior match in June.
Adams’ campaign said the mayor has not yet discussed the matter with Trump.
“Mayor Adams made it clear that he won’t respond to every rumor,” Adams campaign spokesman Todd Shapiro said in a statement Wednesday. “He will remain focused, not distracted and work for New Yorkers.”

“He has no discussion with President Donald Trump about the mayoral campaign,” Shapiro said. “The mayor is totally committed to winning the election, and thousands of New Yorkers are ready to vote. His record is clear: crime is bankruptcy, jobs have risen, and he has been standing up for working families. Mayor Adams focuses on this progress and has won four years of effort to continue to provide the people of New York for four years.”
Trump has historically opposed Mamdani and warned New Yorkers to vote against New York state lawmakers in Queens.
“First, you have a communist and you shouldn’t vote for him,” Trump said at a cabinet meeting in July. “He was a disaster. He led. He was nominated for the Democratic Party because it showed you where the Democratic Party is going.”
“I’m not involved, but I can tell you: I once said we’ll never be a socialist country. Right. Well, I’ll say it again. We won’t-if the Communists were elected to run New York, it would never be the same.”
