"I would say that Cuomo might have a chance of winning if it was a one-on-one,"
"the constant media speculation about my future and the campaign finance board's decision to withhold millions of dollars, have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign."
"Despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my re-election campaign,"
Eric Adams suspended his 2025 New York City mayoral re-election campaign, citing fundraising obstacles and persistent media scrutiny. The suspension could bolster former Governor Andrew Cuomo's prospects against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani. President Donald Trump suggested Adams and Republican Curtis Sliwa should both withdraw to create a Cuomo–Mamdani one-on-one and called Mamdani a "communist." Reports indicated the Trump administration considered nominating Adams as U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia to prompt his exit. Adams said the campaign finance board's withholding of millions and constant speculation undermined his ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign, increasing pressure on Sliwa to suspend.
