"The campaign had seemingly slowed to a crawl in recent days after being repeatedly denied public campaign financing and polling in last place for weeks in the four-way race. It's been an honor to be your mayor, Adams said in a video announcement, according to a New York Post report, which cited a transcript of a video the Adams campaign is due to release. I know I cannot continue my campaign I strongly encourage whoever takes over City Hall to continue what we've done."
"The bombshell announcement changes the complexion of the NYC mayoral race, effectively making it a three-person contest between Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, independent candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa. Polls have had Mamdani ahead, but without majority support among voters. With Adams now out of the picture, Cuomo has the opportunity to consolidate support and gain ground on Mamdani as both Adams and Cuomo had largely courted moderate and independent voters."
Mayor Eric Adams announced he is suspending his independent re-election campaign. The campaign had slowed after being denied public campaign financing and polling last in the four-way race. Adams said it had been an honor to serve and that he cannot continue his campaign, urging whoever takes over City Hall to continue prior efforts. The withdrawal followed an MSNBC interview in which he would not commit to staying in the race. Adams leaving reduces the field to three candidates: Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and Curtis Sliwa, shifting dynamics among moderate and independent voters.
