Trump has reportedly been pushing Adams – polling in single digits – to ditch campaign in effort to stop Mamdani
The New York City mayor, Eric Adams, announced Friday that he is going to stay in the fall’s highly anticipated mayoral race, just days after reports that Donald Trump was encouraging him to do so in order to help fellow independent candidate Andrew Cuomo gain more votes against the frontrunner, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani.
“I am running for re-election,” Adams confirmed to reporters during a news conference outside the Gracie Mansion mayoral residence.
