The White House is emphasizing President Trump’s New York ties as it attacks the city’s leading mayoral candidate, Democrat Zohran Mamdani, referring to the Big Apple as the president’s “home” even though he has long since switched his primary residence to Florida.
“The president is a New Yorker,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday. “He loves New York. It is his home. He talks about that all the time. He’s made his thoughts on this election very clear.”
