NYC Mayor’s Race: Former Gov. Paterson re-endorses Cuomo after defecting to Adams

For the second time, former Gov. David Paterson has endorsed the man who once succeeded him as New York’s chief executive, Andrew Cuomo, in the Nov. 4 mayoral general election.

Paterson had sided with incumbent Mayor Eric Adams over the summer after endorsing Cuomo in the Democratic primary. With Adams now out of the race, Paterson once again threw his support to Cuomo, now running as an independent, during a Tuesday afternoon news conference at a Bronx senior center.
