Repeating his criticism of Mamdani, Trump in Miami called him “communist.” “If you want to see what Congressional Democrats wish to do to America, just look at the results of yesterday’s election in New York," Trump said. “Their party installed a communist as the mayor of the largest city in the nation. Remember, I used to say we’ll never have a socialist elected to any post in our country? Well, we skipped the socialists, we put in the communists instead," the US President said. He warned that Miami "will soon be the refuge for those fleeing communism in New York." He also said that “the communist, Marxist socialists and globalists” had their chance, and they delivered "nothing but disaster." "We lost a little bit of sovereignty last night in New York, but we'll take care of it," he added.
