"Cuomo told reporters during a Sept. 4 news conference on Manhattan's Upper West Side that he has no idea if several Wednesday reports that Trump has offered Adams a job in his administration in exchange for quitting the mayor's race are accurate. Trump's team is also weighing offering Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa a position, according to The New York Times, which first broke the story."
"I don't want him involved in anything with my race, Cuomo said. What Eric Adams chooses to do is up to Eric Adams. What Curtis Sliwa chooses to do is up to Curtis Sliwa. When amNewYork pressed him further on whether he would condemn such an action by Trump, Cuomo said, I have nothing to do, it's none of my business."
Andrew Cuomo said he does not want President Donald Trump involved in his mayoral campaign and said he has no idea if reports that Trump offered jobs to Eric Adams or Curtis Sliwa are accurate. Cuomo declined to condemn the possibility of the president offering positions to influence candidates and said decisions to drop out are personal for Adams and Sliwa. Cuomo, a former governor running as an independent, stands to benefit if Adams exits the crowded race. Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani leads in polls while anti-Mamdani voters remain split among other candidates.
