According to a New York Times report, President Trump is deciding whether to get involved in the New York City mayor's race and is in communication with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The possibility that the president will seek to intercede could inject an element of unpredictability into an already fractious contest.

He called the allegations "disqualifying" for the former governor, whom he soundly defeated in the June Democratic mayoral primary, and claimed he would be "Donald Trump's worst nightmare" if elected mayor.
