A war of words in the New York City mayor's race erupted Thursday following a report that President Trump is not only closely following the contest but thinking about whether he should get involved.

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani quickly seized Thursday on a report that Andrew Cuomo and President Trump had a call in recent weeks.

The new logo is “supposed to symbolize a new phase of the campaign,” Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi tells Fast Company. The mark was designed to both evoke a rising sun and resemble the Statue of Liberty’s crown. Azzopardi says it’s no coincidence the brand’s blue-and-orange color palette is the same as the New York City flag.
