Cuomo and Sliwa Eye NYC Mayoral Race

New York City's mayoral race is intensifying as multiple candidates, including former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa, prepare to potentially challenge incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. Cuomo, who has not officially announced his candidacy, is receiving support from various groups, including the Asian Wave Alliance and prominent figures like former state comptroller Carl McCall, who commend his experience and leadership. Meanwhile, powerful labor unions previously backing Mayor Adams are now encouraging City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams to run, signaling a shift in support due to the incumbent's ongoing legal issues. Curtis Sliwa has officially filed to run, focusing on public safety and quality of life, while Cuomo's campaign-style messages suggest he is seriously considering entering the race. The race is further complicated by the Trump Justice Department's efforts to dismiss Adams' corruption case, which has left him politically vulnerable. As the election approaches, the field remains dynamic with diverse candidates being urged to step forward.
