Mayor Eric Adams is seeking re-election as an independent and is vocally critical of former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running as a Democrat. Adams fears that their candidacies could split moderate Democratic votes, potentially benefiting left-leaning candidates like Zohran Mamdani. His remarks, emphasizing his role as the incumbent, included a metaphor about Cuomo intruding on his territory. The comments follow the launch of a super PAC, "Empower NYC," supporting Adamsâ bid, focusing on the competitive nature of the upcoming election and its implications for New York City.
"He's taking votes away from me - I'm the mayor! Why is he in my race?" Hizzoner fumed about Cuomo. It's almost like when you have a house somewhere..."
"The Mayor has effectively skipped the playoffs and gone straight to the championship. That means Empower NYC can focus its energy and resources on the race that will actually decide the future of this city," said PAC chairman Abe George.
