Trump suggests taking over Washington and running NYC if Mamdani elected - The president escalates attacks with threat of ‘tremendous power’ to ‘run’ cities if his political opponents are elected

Taking a jab at New York mayoral candidate Zohram Mamdani, President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested the White House could assert federal control over both New York City and Washington, if local leadership does not align with his administration’s vision- particularly in the wake of New York’s upcoming mayoral election and ongoing debates about crime in the nation’s capital.

As the House moved to pass the GOP's marquee bill, Democrats began testing out the attacks they hope will win them back Congress in 2026.

Casting mailed ballots remained popular among voters in last year’s presidential election, even as President Donald Trump has tried to undercut the process through a wide-ranging executive order.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, N.C., will not run for re-election when his term is up, he announced Sunday, hours after he voted against advancing President Donald Trump's tax bill and drew the president's ire.
