Mayor Eric Adams to endorse Andrew Cuomo as his successor

Adams, who exited the race last month, aims to rally Black and brown voters alongside Cuomo to counter front-runner Zohran Mamdani, who leads by double digits in polls.

  • On Thursday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams will endorse former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the race to replace him, following a joint appearance planned for later Thursday.
  • Adams, who remains on an independent ballot line, exited his campaign amid legal troubles and low poll support, citing media speculation and funding issues.
  • The final mayoral debate on Wednesday focused on immigration raids and policing, and Andrew Cuomo sat courtside with Eric Adams at Madison Square Garden, New York after the Knicks home opener on October 22, 2025.
  • A poll earlier this week showed Zohran Mamdani holding a double-digit lead in a three-way race while finding a two-way would be neck-and-neck if Curtis Sliwa exited, and Sliwa has vowed to stay in the race.
  • Andrew Cuomo, who resigned in 2021, lost the Democratic primary to Mamdani while polling second, and Eric Adams, who ran for reelection until late September, endorses him in an unusual late-stage realignment.
