"few jumped to applaud his decision on Sunday save for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has battled with Adams for moderate and independent votes. The choice Mayor Adams made today was not an easy one, but I believe he is sincere in putting the well-being of New York City ahead of personal ambition, Cuomo wrote in a statement. We face destructive extremist forces that would devastate our city through incompetence or ignorance, but it is not too late to stop them."
"Mayor Adams has much to be proud of in his accomplishments, Cuomo said. Only in New York can a child raised in a tenement in Bushwick, who once worked as a squeegee boy and a mailroom clerk, rise to become mayor. Whatever differences we may have, Eric Adams' story is undeniably one of resilience, a testament to the spirit of this city."
Mayor Eric Adams dropped his bid for reelection, leaving three candidates to adjust their campaigns with just over a month until Election Day. Many had long called for Adams to withdraw to clear a crowded field and respond to New Yorkers' dissatisfaction with his administration, yet few publicly praised his decision. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, now the only independent candidate, issued a statement expressing belief that Adams placed the city's well-being above personal ambition and warning of destructive extremist forces. Cuomo also acknowledged Adams' personal rise and resilience despite policy disagreements. Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani criticized reported ties between Adams and President Donald Trump.
