Karoline Leavitt Skewers Zohran Mamdani For Baselessly Blaming Trump For Bomb Threats On Polling Places

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani’s baseless blame of President Donald Trump for the bomb threats in New Jersey is “completely irresponsible.”

Mamdani alleged, without evidence, that the bomb threats were part of Trump’s plan to “intimidate voters” and “repress the voice of Americans.” Leavitt said that Mamdani’s comments further prove that the Democratic Party’s only purpose is to retaliate against Trump.

“I think they are completely irresponsibleand they are based on zero evidence,” Leavitt said. “And I think this is just another exampleof how the Democrat Party, unfortunately,stands for nothing.All they stand against is President Donald Trump.And I think it’s quite sad to see that we have someoneat the top of the ticket on an election day today saying such things about the presidentwhen he obviously had absolutely nothingto do with those threats.”

Polling sites in several counties across New Jersey were relocated on Tuesday morning in response to the threats. The threats were investigated and not found to be credible.

New Jersey is facing a highly contested governor’s race between Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli. Sherrill was leading in the race by an average of 3.3 points on Election Day,
