US Elections 2025: Zohran Mamdani Refuses to Be Intimidated by Trump's Jibes as Voting Continues Across the Country.
In an interview today, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani said that he will "treat his threats as they deserve to be treated, which are the words of a president and not necessarily the law of the land". The progressive favorite also stated that New Yorkers deserve a mayor who stands up for them each day, rather than one willing to sacrifice their citizens.
Trump's comments on Truth Social suggest he plans to limit federal funds for New York City if Mamdani wins. However, Leavitt said, "The president does not want to have to tap into this fund in the future." The best way to get full Snap benefits is for Democrats to reopen the government.
Meanwhile, Trump urged Republicans to abolish the filibuster despite congressional leaders refusing to entertain the idea. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt hinted that it's not over, saying "I think you'll see the president continue to engage very strongly and consistently with his friends on Capitol Hill."
Today, New York City, New Jersey, Virginia, and California are among states holding elections. The ongoing government shutdown, which began 35 days ago, continues to affect daily life for millions of Americans.
According to Karoline Leavitt, the president is "fully complying" with a federal court order dispersing partial Snap payments. Trump's post suggested funds would only be released after the government ends.
Today, in Colts Neck, New Jersey, John Stolz cast his ballot for Mikie Sherrill due to fears of how Republicans will treat him as a gay man.
Trump also recently said any Jewish person voting for Mamdani is "stupid". Despite this, polls show that most voters are turning away from Trump's negative attacks.

. It feels like the whole country is being divided and people are getting really scared. Zohran Mamdani is running for president and Trump is being super negative about him... I don't think that's fair at all 
. And what's with Trump trying to threaten New York City if Mamdani wins? That's just not cool 
. It feels like Trump doesn't respect the people of this country, especially if they're gay or Jewish like that guy John Stolz who voted for Mikie Sherrill in NJ 
. I hope more and more Americans are turning away from all these mean attacks and are actually going to vote based on what's best for them 
.
. Like he's just trying to do his job and lead the country, but Trump's always throwing shade 
. I mean, it's not cool when someone in power uses threats and insults instead of actual policy 
. It's so frustrating that people are still getting affected by this government shutdown 
. That's just wrong, you know? Every citizen deserves to feel safe and respected when they're exercising their right to vote 
. Let's hope Zohran Mamdani stays strong and focused on what really matters – the people 
.
! I'm so tired of him trying to intimidate people with his words and threatening their rights. It's like, dude, you're supposed to be a president, not try to scare people into voting for you 
. I'm glad Zohran Mamdani is standing up for what's right and telling Trump to take his threats as they are – empty words 
. Let's focus on getting real change instead of just trying to win elections by being the most divisive person we can be 
.
. I mean, come on, threatening to limit federal funds for New York City? That's some low-key dirty tricks right there 
. And what's up with the whole Snap benefits thing? It feels like they're trying to manipulate the system for their own gain 
.
. Like, dude, get your facts straight or better yet, just keep it on mute 
. And what's with him pushing for the filibuster to be abolished? That's a whole can of worms 
.
. Voting as a gay man is already hard enough; I don't want politics getting all up in his grill 
. Stay tuned, folks!
. That's not what we should be talkin' about when it comes to elections, right? We should be focusin' on the issues and who's gonna do what for our communities.
. The polls are lookin' good for Zohran Mamdani and other Democrats, so here's hopin' that we can just get through this election cycle without too much drama or hurt feelings 
.
like they're gonna cave under his childish tantrums? Zohran Mamdani is all about standing up for the people, not some weak mayor who's only out for himself. And btw, what's with the jab at Jewish ppl voting for him? classless move, Donald 
The thought of Trump limiting federal funds for NYC is just sickening... like, what even is the point of being a mayor if you can't fund basic services? 
.
. It seems like Mamdani has a strong stance on representing the people of New York City, and that's something we should all be rooting for 
Maybe Mamdani can use his platform to push for a solution that benefits everyone, not just one group. We need leaders who put the people first 
.
, and it seems like the President is more interested in making noise than actually doing what's best for his country 
But at the same time, I'm kinda worried about Zohran's chances now - all this drama might actually hurt him in the long run... 
. And btw, what's with this whole Snap benefits thing? Can't these politicians focus on something other than taking away someone else's stuff? 
and btw what's with trumps obsession with snap benefits? can't he just focus on the country instead of trying to control ppl's social security?
