"Current New York City Mayor, Eric Adams, has dropped out of the race. He has been trailing behind Democratic nominee, and front-runner, Zohran Mamdani. In a recorded message posted on Sunday afternoon, Adams said that "despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my reelection campaign." Mamdani has been running circles around Adams, speaking to the people as a peer, not a politician. He is younger, funnier and comes across as more genuine."
"Ironically, Trump has been pushing some weird behind the scenes puppet string action, trying to get Adams to support former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent candidate. Adams had also been running as an independent, even though he was elected as Democrat. It is ALL very confusing. Democratic former Governor running as an independent. Democratic current Mayor running as an independent."
Eric Adams has dropped out of the mayoral race after trailing Democratic nominee and front-runner Zohran Mamdani. Adams announced his withdrawal in a recorded message saying, "despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my reelection campaign." Mamdani has appealed to voters by speaking as a peer and projecting youth, humor, and authenticity. Andrew Cuomo is running as an independent, and Adams had also been running as an independent despite being elected as a Democrat. Reports describe Trump pushing Adams to back Cuomo and note DOJ action that removed charges Adams faced. Republicans express concern about Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist.
