Mayor Adams of NYC set to endorse Cuomo in competitive showdown against Mamdani

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is set to endorse former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the upcoming mayoral election. This endorsement comes as Cuomo faces Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani in a highly competitive race.

Adams Emphasizes Community Engagement

In a recent interview, Adams stressed the necessity of engaging with Black and brown communities affected by gentrification. He noted, “It is imperative to wake up these communities about the importance of this race.”

Adams pointed out the challenges faced by residents as rents continue to rise. He plans to visit neighborhoods directly, speaking with organizers and community groups. His goal is to mobilize support for his endorsement of Cuomo.

Collaboration Between Adams and Cuomo

Despite previous disagreements during their respective campaigns, Adams and Cuomo are currently working together. Their primary objective is to counteract Mamdani’s momentum in the election.

  • Adams ended his re-election campaign last month.
  • Cuomo recently participated in a public event with Adams, showcasing their renewed partnership.

Cuomo expressed enthusiasm for their collaboration on social media, sharing a moment with Adams during a New York Knicks game. The endorsement marks a strategic alliance as both political figures aim to strengthen their positions in this critical election.

This political landscape is evolving, and updates will follow as new developments arise leading up to the election.
