US President Donald Trump is reportedly considering whether to get involved in the New York City mayoral race, according to sources cited by The New York Times. The move would aim to consolidate opposition to Democratic frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, who recently defeated Andrew Cuomo in the primary. Mamdani, known for his strong anti-Israel stance, has pledged to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city, referencing an International Criminal Court warrant. Trump has discussed the situation with pollsters and with Cuomo, but has not yet decided whether to endorse a rival candidate, such as independent incumbent Eric Adams.
