"Look, Donald Trump and his billionaire donors may be able to determine the actions of Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo,"
"But they will not dictate the results of this election."
"I would like to see two people drop out and have it be one-on-one, and I think that's a race that could be won,"
Zohran Mamdani accused Donald Trump and billionaire donors of influencing Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo while asserting that they cannot determine election results. Eric Adams unexpectedly withdrew from the mayoral race after earlier committing to reelection, citing fundraising struggles. Reports indicated Trump advisers discussed a possible job for Adams to clear the field for Andrew Cuomo, a claim Adams’s spokesperson denied, and the White House declined comment. The Trump administration previously urged federal prosecutors to drop corruption charges against Adams, and Trump publicly encouraged candidate withdrawals to create a one-on-one race. Recent polls show Mamdani leading Cuomo by a substantial margin.
