Meanwhile, Karoline Leavitt also called out New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for his allegation of voter intimidation by Trump. In the briefing, she called the allegations “completely irresponsible and based on zero evidence. She also said that these allegations are another example of how the Democrat party unfortunately stands for nothing.
Millions of people are voting in New York to choose their mayor. Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, is against Andrew Cuomo, a former Democratic governor, running as an independent.
