NYC Mayor Adams, Ex-Gov Cuomo Urge Each Other to Drop Out

News summary

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and former Governor Andrew Cuomo are both running as independents in the 2025 mayoral race and are urging each other to drop out to consolidate opposition against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani. Adams criticized Cuomo for losing the Democratic primary by 12 points and called him arrogant for expecting Adams to step aside, while Cuomo's campaign labeled Adams unelectable. Both men have faced controversies: Cuomo resigned in 2021 amid sexual harassment allegations, and Adams is under federal investigation for bribery and campaign finance offenses. Independent candidate Jim Walden proposed a poll to determine a single frontrunner among the candidates to unify voters against Mamdani, who represents a democratic socialist platform. Adams has framed the race as a choice against socialism and plans to mobilize new voters concerned about Mamdani's policy proposals. Cuomo's camp insists on prioritizing what is best for New Yorkers, dismissing Adams's viability in the race.
