"Trump's comments come amid numerous reports that his administration is gaming out a scenario that would prompt Adams to drop his reelection bid in exchange for a job opportunity. The New York Times reported earlier this week that top advisers have been in touch with Adams associates and discussed a role in the Trump administration for Adams in order for him to leave the race."
"As his reelection hopes grow dimmer by the day, speculation is growing as to whether Eric Adams is considering suspending his bid for a second term in City Hall. While the mayor has continued to dismiss the rumors that he's eyeing the proverbial exit, Adams is facing increasing pressure to suspend his campaign to help narrow the field before the November election."
Eric Adams faces mounting speculation that he may suspend his reelection bid as his chances dim. Adams has dismissed the rumors but faces increasing pressure to suspend his campaign to help narrow the field before the November election. President Donald Trump said he would like to see a two-person race to defeat Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, whom Trump denounced as a "communist." Mamdani leads polls, with Andrew Cuomo consistently second, followed by Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and Adams. Trump advisers reportedly discussed offering Adams a role, possibly an ambassadorship to Saudi Arabia, and Adams met with Steve Witkoff. Sliwa denied White House contact and said he is not interested in a job.
