John,

The Trump administration is desperately hoping to clear the field in the NYC mayoral race in order to stop Zohran Mamdani.

According to a report in The New York Times, Trump advisers are trying to persuade Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa to drop out of the race by offering them positions in the administration — all to prop up Andrew Cuomo's flagging campaign.¹

This race is potentially about to get much more difficult.

Billionaire donations are pouring in. They’re planning to cover the city with ads and mailers over the next few weeks, spreading misinformation about Zohran. And now they’re taking it to a whole new level by having Trump try and put his thumb on the scale.

We need to ramp up our efforts immediately in order to be ready for whatever is coming our way in this race. Please rush a donation of any amount today and help the Working Families Party fuel our voter contact programs to elect Zohran Mamdani in November.

Here’s the bottom line: Trump, Cuomo, and Adams are birds of a feather.

That’s why they have the same donors, power-brokers, and advisers behind them.

They wouldn't be doing all of this if they weren't terrified by Zohran's momentum. But they also wouldn't go through all this effort if they didn't think it had a real chance of paying off.

Yes, our movement is strong. And we already showed what we’re capable of in June's primary by defeating Cuomo’s big-money machine.

But over the next few weeks, we’ll be up against the full weight of the billionaire class, MAGA crooks — and now Trump himself.

Attack ads are going to flood the city. And Fox News will dedicate even more time to spreading lies about Zohran.

Underestimating this threat is exactly what they want us to do. We need to redouble our efforts instead.

If you’re able to, please rush a donation today and help us fight back against the inevitable onslaught of attacks, lies, and misinformation. The November election is right around the corner, and it’ll take all of us to elect Zohran Mamdani.

In solidarity,

Team WFP
