US EditionMamdani: Trump’s donors ‘will not dictate’ NYC mayoral race
- The sitting mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, ended his bid for reelection on September 28, 2025, following several weeks of mounting pressure during the mayoral campaign.
- Adams faced pressure from President Donald Trump and others to quit in order to improve former Governor Andrew Cuomo's and Republican Curtis Sliwa's chances against front-runner Zohran Mamdani.
- Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist who bested Cuomo in the Democratic primary, criticized Cuomo for cutting a homeless housing program in 2011 while Cuomo called Mamdani untrustworthy and lacking majority support.
- Trump reiterated his warning that federal aid to New York could be cut off if Mamdani wins and pushed for a direct contest between the two leading candidates, while Sliwa declined to exit the race despite urging from Cuomo and others.
- Adams' withdrawal shifts the race dynamics, but Mamdani remains near 40 percent in polls, and Sliwa could split centrist votes, possibly benefiting Cuomo's chances.
