New York Quietly Preparing Against Trump’s Takeover
November 6, 2025 at 8:02 pm EST By Taegan Goddard


“New York is quietly preparing for a Donald Trump takeover of the country’s largest city,” Politico reports.

“A wide range of New York’s most prominent civic leaders have for weeks been meeting behind the scenes to plan for the possibility of Trump sending in the National Guard or any other federal agents into New York City, according to multiple top elected officials.”

“Alarmed at what Trump may do in response to Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York City mayor, Gov. Kathy Hochul has devised a virtual war room and convened a series of conversations with law enforcement, business officials and activist groups to stop or at least mitigate any federal incursion. More meetings are being scheduled, including with New York’s leading clergy and veterans groups, some of whom will be gathering around Veterans Day next week.”
