"The Conservative Inc. braintrust has a brilliant new idea for Republicans to consider: support Andrew Cuomo. Led by the multi-page Twitter rants of Bill Ackman, conservative accounts on X are suddenly agitating for incumbent New York Mayor Eric Adams to drop out of the New York City mayoral race in a last-ditch effort to defeat the democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani."
"According to new reports out of Florida, Adams considered abandoning his campaign after meeting with Steve Witkoff, one of President Donald Trump's closest advisers and a well-known figure in New York real estate. Though Witkoff has worked as special envoy to the Middle East, his "secret meeting" with Adams in Florida this week is fresh evidence that Trump counts Witkoff among his closest confidantes."
"At that meeting, Witkoff reportedly floated the idea of Adams becoming the ambassador to Saudi Arabia. Although the Trump administration has not confirmed reporting by the New York Times on Friday, the Saudi ambassadorship would be an ironic and somewhat fitting role for a man who has been charged with accepting illegal campaign contributions and luxury travel from regional actors in the Middle East."
Conservative accounts on X and investors like Bill Ackman are urging support for Andrew Cuomo to replace Eric Adams and prevent democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani from winning the New York mayoral race. Ackman praises Cuomo's experience and gubernatorial accomplishments while acknowledging past mistakes and framing him as a leader who has learned and has something to prove. Reports say Adams considered abandoning his campaign after a Florida meeting with Steve Witkoff, a Trump adviser and New York real estate figure, who reportedly floated making Adams ambassador to Saudi Arabia. The ambassadorship suggestion is described as ironic given accusations that Adams accepted illegal campaign contributions and luxury travel from regional actors.
