The front-runner for New York mayor is leveraging his lifelong love of eating to inform his policy plans and spread his message.

NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani vowed to fight President Donald Trump's threats to withhold federal funding on Monday, citing California's legal strategy of challenging Trump in court.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom was blunt in his response to a false claim by Vice President JD Vance that Democrats are demanding a "$1.5 trillion spending package that funded free health care for illegals" to avoid a government shutdown, posting a four-word tweet.

President Donald Trump threatened to withhold federal funding for New York City if the progressive Zohran Mamdani wins the mayoral election. Trump, who is from New York City, said the democratic socialist Mamdani “will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party.”
