Andrew Cuomo said on Thursday he does not want Republican President Donald Trump to get involved with “my race” for mayor, but would not condemn the possibility of the commander-in-chief offering Mayor Eric Adams a job to drop out of the contest — a move that would likely benefit the former governor.
Cuomo told reporters during a Sept. 4 news conference on Manhattan’s Upper West Side that he has “no idea” if several Wednesday reports that Trump has offered Adams a job in his administration in exchange for quitting the mayor’s race are “accurate.” Trump’s team is also weighing offering Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa a position, according to The New York Times, which first broke the story.
