"Todd Shapiro, a spokesperson for Adams, confirmed the news in a statement to NBC New York, "As spokesman for Mayor Eric Adams, I can confirm that the Mayor will endorse former Governor Andrew M. Cuomo for mayor and intends to campaign alongside him. The time and locations for their joint appearances are currently being finalized." Cuomo and Adams, both longtime Democrats, each ran as third-party candidates in the general election against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, a state legislator."
"Adams said in an interview with "The Reset Talk Show" last week that he was in conversations with Cuomo but was waiting to make a final decision on backing a candidate. Adams has been vocal about his disagreements with state Assemblyman and Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani's policy proposals. Mamdani has consistently held double-digit leads in the mayoral race, though Cuomo made gains in some surveys conducted since Adams dropped out of the race. In a recent Fox News poll, released before the first debate, Mamdani was leading among registered New York City voters with 49%, ahead of Cuomo with 28% and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa with 13%."
Mayor Eric Adams will endorse former Governor Andrew M. Cuomo for New York City mayor and intends to campaign alongside him, according to a spokesman. Adams and Cuomo both ran as third-party candidates in the general election against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani. Adams dropped out of the race last month, saying in a nearly nine-minute video that he did not see a path to victory. The two were seen together at a New York Knicks game after Cuomo's final debate appearance. Mamdani called the endorsement "The Art of the Deal." Polls show Mamdani with double-digit leads, including a Fox News poll with Mamdani at 49% and Cuomo at 28%.
