Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday boldly pledged to register one million new voters for the general election as part of his independent bid to overcome Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani — who won the primary in part by registering tens of thousands of new voters.
Adams said he can win his tough general re-election battle, after sitting out the Democratic primary, by essentially mimicking Mamdani’s turnout strategy, which helped the democratic socialist Assembly member beat the presumed primary frontrunner — former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The mayor charged that Cuomo lost the primary because he “underestimated the unregistered voter.”
