Vote 2025: Race for New York City mayor, New Jersey governor and more | Live updates

Andrew Cuomo shrugged off a day-before-the-election endorsement from President Donald Trump who said, "Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job. He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!"

"He's not endorsing me. He's opposing Mamdani," Cuomo said.

He may not see it as an endorsement, but says the president is right.

"I agree. A vote for Curtis Sliwa is a vote for Mamdani," Cuomo said. "Curtis Sliwa is not a viable candidate. He cannot win. He is in the race as a spoiler only."

Sliwa has enough support in the polls to effectively be a spoiler for Cuomo, but the Republican nominee has never had the support of the Republican president.

"The President is entitled to his point of view, but the people on the ground say they want change, and the change is not Zohran Mamdani it's Sliwa," Sliwa said.

Mamdani said he fully expected the Trump's endorsement of Cuomo.

"I did not, however, anticipate Andrew Cuomo going from being Donald Trump's puppet to being so nakedly his parrot," Mamdani said.

Sonia Rincon has more on the New York City mayoral candidates' reaction to Trump's endorsement.

Jack Ciattarelli got some help from President Donald Trump, who joined the Republican nominee by phone during a tele-rally on Monday night.

"Mikie Sherrill, the only thing she's got going is it's a very unusual name," Trump said. "I've never heard of the name Mikie for a woman, but maybe she'll be the last."

The president also posted about the race on social media Monday night, saying "All you'll get from voting Democrat is unrelentingly high crime, energy prices through the roof, men playing in women's sports, and heartache!"

Dan Krauth has more on final night of campaigning in the New Jersey governor's race.

The congresswoman and former naval officer didn't respond to the president's election eve attack. Instead, she touted the state's long history of fighting for civil rights.

"We're fighting for our families, we're fighting for our kids, we're fighting for opportunity," Sherrill said.

Election Day is Tuesday, and New Yorkers have already set an early voting record.

Over 735,000 voters have cast their ballots over the nine days of early voting, the highest turnout for a non-presidential election year.

Zohran Mamdani trolled Andrew Cuomo over President Trump's comments on '60 Minutes' Sunday night, calling them an endorsement.

"Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo," Mamdani mocked on social media. "I know how hard you worked for this."

Cuomo said Trump was not endorsing him when he said, "If it's going to be between a bad Democrat and a Communist, I'm going to pick the bad Democrat all the time."

"He did not say that, he said, I'd rather have a bad Democrat than a Communist, that's what he said, he called me a bad Democrat, first of all, I happen to be a good Democrat and a proud Democrat and I'm going to stay a proud Democrat," Cuomo said. "Mamdani is not a Communist, he's a Socialist, we didn't need a Socialist mayor either."
