NYC Mayor Adams vows continued participation in the mayoral race, labeling Mamdani and Cuomo as 'spoiled brats'
In the ongoing race for New York City's mayoral seat, Mayor Eric Adams has reiterated his commitment to seek reelection in November, despite rumors of a potential job offer from the White House.
Adams' announcement followed a trip to Florida earlier this week, where he met with Trump advisor Steve Witkoff. However, no new information has been provided about Witkoff or any discussions regarding a potential ambassador position to Saudi Arabia.
In a press conference, Adams accused former Governor Andrew Cuomo of spreading rumors that he will drop his independent bid for reelection. Cuomo, who has more centrist views than the Democratic nominee, Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, issued a statement saying he "will always listen if called to serve our country."
Polling shows Mamdani is the clear frontrunner in the race, followed by Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa and Adams. Adams, who described himself as a "working class New Yorker," contrasted his upbringing with the candidates he called "two spoiled brats."
The behind-the-scenes scheming is an attempt to consolidate the anti-Mamdani vote behind Cuomo. However, the New York Times reported that Trump associates had discussed possibly making Adams ambassador to Saudi Arabia in exchange for him dropping his reelection bid.
Adams has been vocal about his disagreements with Cuomo, referring to him as a "snake" and a "liar." He has insisted that he will continue to run an independent campaign, focusing on issues that matter to working New Yorkers.
Mamdani, on the other hand, has promised to deliver a city that working New Yorkers can afford and turn the page on the broken, billionaire-backed politics of the past.
The race for New York City's mayoral seat is heating up, with each candidate vying for the support of the city's voters. As the election approaches, it will be interesting to see how the dynamics of the race unfold.
