Republican Sen. David McCormick defended Donald Trump’s latest controversial moves in a rare interview, including the president’s $230 million request for the Justice Department to pay his legal bills, the demolition of the White House’s East Wing, and his party’s handling of the government shutdown.

As the New York City mayoral race enters its final days, thousands of people congregated in Forest Hills, Queens, on Sunday to rally for Democrat Zohran Mamdani, with a turnout that almost rivaled that of President Donald Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden nearly one year ago to the day.

The GOP is pouncing on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' endorsement of Mamdani, hoping to paint Democrats as too far left ahead of the midterm elections next year.

Sunshine State Gov. Ron DeSantis suggested that a Zohran Mamdani mayorship in New York City would benefit Republicans politically because voters would get to see "his leftist agenda in action"

Whether it’s JD Vance or it’s Andrew Cuomo, it is the same kind of politics,” Mamdani told MSNBC. “It’s a politics of division.”

The frontrunner is turning out Muslim and South Asian New Yorkers in historic numbers, while facing attacks on his faith and background.

“I’d go half-and-half,” Cuomo said, trying to appeal to both sides. Laughter erupted inside the room as Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa, the republican nominee in the debate, both threw their hands up.
