Eric Adams

Eric Adams currently serves as the Mayor of New York City and has recently decided to endorse Andrew Cuomo in the ongoing mayoral election. This endorsement comes after Adams ended his own re-election campaign due to poor polling numbers, marking a shift from his previous Democratic affiliation to supporting an independent candidate. The race is highly competitive with other candidates like Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa also vying for the position. Adams' decision to support Cuomo signals a significant development in the election dynamics, given their recent history of tension as both turned into independents. This endorsement highlights the evolving political landscape within New York City politics, particularly amid closely watched elections that include not only the mayoral race but also the contest for New Jersey’s next governor.
