"Mayor Adams ended his mayoral election campaign Sunday, a stunning move that comes after President Trump's team and New York business leaders have pressured him to get out of the race to help block Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani from taking over the reins at City Hall. Adams, who has been running for a second term as an independent candidate in November's mayoral election, made the blockbuster announcement in a video to be released shortly by his campaign."
"Adams - the city's second Black mayor who was elected in 2021 on a pledge to make the five boroughs safer - took the extraordinary step as sources say intermediaries for the mayor have for weeks been in talks with Trump advisers about him dropping out in exchange for a post in the president's administration. New York business leaders, who are sharply opposed to Mamdani's plans"
Adams ended his mayoral reelection campaign Sunday and announced the decision in a soon-to-be-released campaign video. Intermediaries for Adams reportedly held weeks of talks with Trump advisers about him dropping out in exchange for a position in the administration. New York business leaders opposed to Zohran Mamdani's tax plans also discussed potentially offering Adams a private sector job to suspend his bid. The effort to sideline Adams appears aimed at improving former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's chances against Mamdani. Recent polls showed Adams running fourth behind Mamdani, Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
