On Sunday, September 28, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that he would be giving up on seeking reelection. This means that the race for the next mayor of New York City is likely to be between Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani and former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Polls have shown that Adams has consistently lagged far behind Mamdani and Cuomo, who is running as an independent candidate. Mamdani maintains a significant lead ahead of the election on November 4.
Adams has been struggling to raise funds for his campaign.
“Despite all of our accomplishments, I cannot continue my reelection campaign,” Adams posted on the social media platform X.
