Donald Trump and former Governor Andrew Cuomo stand out as two prominent figures in New York City's recent political and social landscape, with a history of personal and professional intersections that stretches back many years.
Both born and raised in Queens, their trajectories provide insight into the city's distinctive political culture and the close interplay between the real estate sector, where Trump built his reputation, and government, through which Cuomo advanced his career.
Recent reports highlight Trump's renewed interest in New York City's mayoral election, including a recent conversation with Cuomo regarding the race. Cuomo, after losing the Democratic primary to Assemblyman Zohran K. Mamdani, is continuing his campaign as an independent candidate.
Details of the discussion between Trump and Cuomo remain unclear, including who initiated the contact. Cuomo has stated he does not recall their last conversation and denied discussing the mayoral race with Trump.
Trump has publicly expressed that Mamdani's potential victory would be detrimental to the city and has urged Cuomo to stay in the race.
The relationship between these two New Yorkers—once described by Cuomo humorously as a 'dysfunctional marriage'—has experienced numerous ups and downs. Below is a look at seven notable moments that define their intertwined histories.
