In a sharp escalation of the NYC mayoral campaign, Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on Democratic candidate Maya Wiley's economic advisor, Mahmood Mamdani, claiming he is "destroying" the city. Trump's statement comes as Mayor Eric Adams faces mounting pressure to address the city's affordability crisis, with Wiley promising to tax the rich to fund social programs and improve public services. As the mayoral election heats up, the debate over economic policies is taking center stage, with Trump and other Republican candidates vowing to oppose any measures that would increase taxes on high-income earners. Can Wiley's plan to tax the wealthy gain traction, or will Trump's criticism and Adams' reluctance to raise taxes derail her efforts to make the city more equitable?
