Eric Adams on whether he'll stay in N.Y. mayoral race: 'I'll make the right decision for the city'
"If someone constantly reports, even when you say otherwise, that you're leaving the race the next day, you're leaving the race the next day, you lose your funders and your donors. And so it's been a real challenge for me to raise the money that I need to run for office,"
"Is the real agenda to cover me the same way you are covering the other candidates or to undermine my campaign?"
"I've been sitting down with my team, having our pathways, finding out how we get the money into the coffers to do the commercials, to do the mailers, to pay for our team and staff,"
"I would like to see two people drop out"
New York City Mayor Eric Adams declined to guarantee he will remain in the mayoral race through Election Day, saying he will make the right decision for the city. Adams attributed persistent media speculation about his possible withdrawal to donor and funder attrition, which has hindered his campaign's ability to raise money for commercials, mailers, and staff. Adams said he and his team are exploring pathways to replenish campaign coffers. External pressure has included a call from Donald Trump for candidates to drop out. Adams trails Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo in public polling.
