Mayor Eric Adams on Monday urged former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who just suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral primary, to drop out of the general election in order to give him a better shot at overtaking the democratic socialist lawmaker in November.
Hizzoner and Cuomo both hold independent ballot lines in the general election and are jockeying, along with Republican Curtis Sliwa and independent attorney Jim Walden, to be the main center-right alternative to Mamdani — whose socialist brand has alarmed the city’s business and real estate big wigs.
