Adams says Cuomo asked him to drop out of NYC mayor’s race

NEW YORK CITY, JUL 7 – Mayor Eric Adams rejected former Governor Andrew Cuomo's request to drop out and urged other candidates to unite behind him to defeat progressive nominee Zohran Mamdani, who leads with 35% support.

  • On Monday, Mayor Eric Adams claimed former Governor Andrew Cuomo privately urged him to drop out of New York City's November mayoral race.
  • This request followed Cuomo’s primary loss to Zohran Mamdani, who defeated Cuomo by 12 points and secured over 545,000 votes, the most in 36 years.
  • Cuomo’s campaign proposed commissioning an independent poll to test Cuomo and Adams head-to-head against Mamdani, with the weaker candidate dropping out to unify opposition.
  • Adams emphasized he is the only candidate with mayoral experience and questioned stepping aside after Cuomo’s recent loss to Mamdani by 12 points.
  • Political and business leaders, including former Governor David Paterson, urged uniting behind one candidate, but Republican Curtis Sliwa said he will not withdraw from the race.
