“I’m not a new friend brothers. I’m an old friend, a friend that has been consistent throughout the years, and so the Muslim that’s running for mayor, ask him, where has he been?” Adams mentioned of opponent Zohran Mamdani, who’s Muslim and the Democratic mayoral nominee favored to win November’s election.
With the election in simply over seven weeks, the mayor is dealing with strain from these against Mamdani to step out of the race with the intention to pave the way in which for Cuomo to problem Mamdani head-to-head.
“I think they need to have one candidate,” President Trump mentioned on Fox & Mates on Friday. “And it would look to me like Cuomo, frankly, is leading the other two.”
Talking at a press convention in Brooklyn, Cuomo dismissed the polling proposal floated by Adams’ marketing campaign as redundant, noting all public surveys are already displaying the incumbent with little obvious path to victory.

“Every day, he is only serving to be a spoiler, and every day he stays in the race he continues to be a spoiler and help Mamdani,” Cuomo mentioned. “He can continue to try to get a job in the Trump administration, maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t, that’s up to him, but he’s not a viable candidate and all he’s doing is help elect Mamdani,” the ex-governor added.
