Andrew Cuomo @andrewcuomo
If you want President Trump to try to take over the city - national guard on streets, choking federal funding - vote for @ZohranKMamdani
because Trump just said he will be coming and this poser @ZohranKMamdani
wont be able to stop him.
That is a fact. The next Mayor has to be able to get us more, not ensure our demise. I am the only person in this race who can do that.

No way voting for Cuomo will guarantee Trump wont try to send in the National Guard. Where has he been? There is no placating Trump - not that placating him is a reason to vote anyway, even it were effective.
