Amid growing speculation that Mayor Eric Adams may not be running for re-election, he brushed aside questions on Tuesday about some of his closest allies throwing their support behind former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Hizzoner, during a March 11 news conference at City Hall, insisted that he has not taken it personally that some of his key allies have defected to support Cuomo. Those figures include former Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., who endorsed Adams in 2021, and Assembly Member Eddie Gibbs (D-Manhattan). Another Adams ally, Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, is also reportedly considering a Cuomo endorsement.
