In a defiant response to speculation about his political future, NYC Mayor Eric Adams has insisted he is staying in the race for reelection. Despite reports suggesting that Trump advisers are exploring a potential ambassadorship for Adams to Saudi Arabia, he maintains that no formal offers have been made. Adams criticized former Governor Andrew Cuomo and other political figures as he navigates this tumultuous campaign landscape, facing pressure from top Democrats to support rival candidate Mamdani. Trump, meanwhile, has expressed a desire for a more streamlined electoral contest in New York, indicating he wants two candidates to drop out, potentially to better position Mamdani for the race. As Adams prepares for an important campaign announcement, the dynamics in the NYC mayoral election continue to evolve amidst the ongoing rumors of Trump’s influence.
