PolitiFact has fact-checked President Donald Trump's claim that Democratic New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani is a communist and ruled in favor of Mamdani, finding no evidence to support the assertion. The fact-checking website debunked the claim as false. In doing so, PolitiFact defended Mamdani from what it considered an unsubstantiated and misleading statement by Trump.
