Trump Predicts Zohran Mamdani's Victory in NYC Mayoral Race
Former President Donald Trump has made a surprising prediction: Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic Socialist, will win the NYC mayoral race. Trump attributes Mamdani's strong poll numbers to a voter rebellion against established candidates.

Recent polls show Mamdani with a significant lead over rivals like incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who are both running as independents. One poll shows Mamdani at 45% support, compared to Cuomo at 23%, Curtis Sliwa at 15%, and Adams at 12%.
A Populist Uprising?
Trump connects Mamdani's success to the same populist sentiment that fueled his own rise, suggesting it's a revolt against "bad candidates" burdened by scandals and unpopular policies. He highlights voter frustration with high taxes and the perceived failures of the Democratic party.
What's Next?
The outcome of the NYC mayoral race remains uncertain, but Trump's prediction adds an intriguing layer to this already compelling election.
