John,

Last week, The New York Times reported that Donald Trump recently “spoke directly” with Andrew Cuomo, and was considering getting directly involved on his behalf in the race for New York City Mayor to try and defeat Zohran Mamdani.¹

It’s a slap in the face to the New Yorkers that Cuomo wants to represent, and the families nationwide who are being terrorized, day in and day out, by Trump’s regime.

But it also shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo have spent most of their lives orbiting the same social circles and bullying their political opponents. They even share some of the same billionaire campaign donors.²

This is the kind of general election fight we’re bracing for, John. Trump donors, mega-corporations, big real-estate developers, and even Trump himself are now rallying to try and stop Zohran Mamdani. We know we won’t be able to out-spend them — but with your help, we can and will out-organize them.

Make a donation today to help fuel our independent campaign to elect Zohran Mamdani as the next Mayor of New York City. The funds we raise now will allow us to mobilize voters, run ads, and build even more momentum in the run-up to November as Trump, Cuomo, and their donors escalate their attacks.

In June, WFP members like you and working people across New York City shocked the political world to its core when we powered Zohran Mamdani to a decisive victory in the Democratic the primary.

The pundits may not have seen it coming, but our movement — the multi-racial working class of New York — pulled it off.

But now that reality has settled in for the political establishment, we need to redouble our efforts.

Because their attacks — even calling for the arrest of Zohran — are only going to increase in intensity.³

Help us keep up the fight and break through the tsunami of attack ads and hit pieces we know are coming by pitching in today. We’re organizing around the clock to elect Zohran Mamdani, and every dollar we raise puts us in a better position to win in November.

In solidarity,

Team WFP
