Embattled Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday stepped up attacks against those challenging his re-election in the 2025 NYC mayor’s race, lashing out at two candidates who are beating him in the polls: former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani.
After weeks of mostly holding back on going after his opponents, Hizzoner unloaded on Cuomo and Mamdani during an April 1 City Hall news conference. Cuomo is currently the front-runner in the mayor’s race, leading three recent polls by double digits, while Mamdani appears to have solidified a spot in second place. Meanwhile, the incumbent mayor has dropped into the single digits and is struggling to gain traction.
