New York City Mayor Eric Adams will reportedly endorse former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the city’s mayoral race as he faces off against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani.
“I think that it is imperative to really wake up the Black and brown communities that have suffered from gentrification on how important this race is,” Adams said in an interview, according to The New York Times.
“They have watched their rents increase in terms of gentrification, and they have been disregarded in those neighborhoods, and I’m going to go to those neighborhoods and speak one on one with organizers and groups, and I’m going to walk with the governor in those neighborhoods and get them engaged.”
Adams ended his re-election campaign last month. Despite past spats on the campaign trail, Adams and Cuomo seem to have put aside their differences as they push to stop Mamdani’s rise.
The two former rivals even sat together courtside at the New York Knicks’ season opener. Cuomo, fresh from the debate, said on social media that he made it in time for the second half and posted a photo of himself with Adams.
