"As spokesman for Mayor Eric Adams, I can confirm that the Mayor will endorse former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo for mayor and intends to campaign alongside him. The time and locations for their joint appearances are currently being finalized. Adams, who suspended his reelection bid late last month, is throwing his support behind Cuomo in a last-ditch effort to help the moderate former governor consolidate voters to overcome Democratic nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, who is ahead in the polls by double digits."
"While not necessarily surprising, considering their centrist positions on most issues, Adams' endorsement came just two months after he publicly criticized Cuomo calling him a snake and a liar after reports indicated the mayor was considering stepping out of the race for a job offer, possibly with the Trump administration. Adams, who had consistently polled last in the four-man general election, finally withdrew from the race in late September."

Adams plans to campaign in the final week and a half, focusing on Black and brown communities.
