President Donald Trump has separately suggested New York could lose federal support under Mamdani’s leadership, calling the city’s direction a financial and social disaster.

For now, the bill serves as a clear warning shot: under Republican leadership, federal dollars may no longer flow freely to cities that reject traditional law-and-order governance and free-market economics.
