Mayor Eric Adams revealed that former Governor Andrew Cuomo requested him to withdraw from the November election. Adams described this request as "the highest level of arrogance," emphasizing his position as the current mayor and questioning Cuomo's electoral credibility after his previous loss to Mamdani. Adams argued that a new candidate should represent the city, while suggesting that Cuomo should instead consider stepping out of the race. Cuomo's campaign responded by proposing a poll to assess candidacy strength, indicating doubts about Adams' viability in the race.
"For Cuomo to ask him not to run in the general election was the highest level of arrogance," Adams stated, noting his position as the sitting mayor and Cuomo's recent election loss.
Adams emphasized that Cuomo should be the one to step aside, asserting: "You lost. They heard your message and you lost. Now let a fresh set of legs that has produced for this city."
