Former President Donald Trump has set a deadline for New York City mayoral candidates to withdraw from the race, with his billionaire backers reportedly supporting the move. The Trump administration is said to be exerting influence over the mayoral race, with Fox News national correspondent Bryan Llenas providing updates on the situation during ‘America Reports.’
Trump, who has been a vocal critic of New York City’s leadership, has been leveraging his political connections to shape the outcome of the mayoral election. His billionaire supporters are allegedly pressuring other candidates to step down, aiming to consolidate support for a potential Trump-aligned candidate. This development has sparked speculation about the extent of his influence in the city’s political landscape, despite his current absence from active politics.
