"New York City Mayor Eric Adams is expected to drop out of the mayor's race on Sunday, sources tell CBS News New York political reporter Marcia Kramer. Adams departure would set up a three-way race between Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa to lead America's largest city. There as been intense speculation about the mayor's future over the last few months."
"The mayor previously blasted speculation that he would drop his reelection bid. In a Sept. 5 news conference, he said he was "the only one that can beat [Zohran] Mamdani," insisted he was remaining in the race, and referred to the Democratic frontrunner and former governor as "two spoiled brats." It has been a tumultuous year overall for Adams, who took office in January 2022. He has faced a corruption scandal and criticism over his relationship with the Trump administration."
Eric Adams is expected to drop out of the mayoral race on Sunday, according to sources. His departure would create a three-way contest between Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, former Governor Andrew Cuomo running as an independent, and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa as the Republican nominee. Recent polls showed Adams with single-digit support, trailing Mamdani, Cuomo, and Sliwa. Adams previously denied plans to withdraw, saying on Sept. 5 he was "the only one that can beat [Zohran] Mamdani," and calling the Democratic frontrunner and former governor "two spoiled brats." Adams has faced a corruption scandal and criticism over ties to the Trump administration. His name will remain on the November ballot.
