Report: NYC Mayor Eric Adams to Endorse Andrew Cuomo for Mayor

Hannah Knudsen 23 Oct 2025

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is expected to endorse former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (I) for mayor, just weeks ahead of the highly anticipated race in the Big Apple.

Despite bad blood between them in the past, Adams — who abandoned his reelection campaign in September — plans to rally behind Cuomo, who is running as an independent in a race including socialist Zohran Mamdani (D) and Republican Curtis Sliwa. According to the New York Times, Adams and Cuomo met after Wednesday night’s mayoral debate, sitting next to each other at the New York Knicks’ season opener.

Adams told the Times that he plans to campaign with Cuomo in the final weeks of the race.

“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 told the outlet.

“They have watched their rents increase in terms of gentrification and they have been disregarded in those neighborhoods,” he said, “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 is still polling around 6-8%, even though he dropped out a while ago.
That's probably "the black vote".
And a good number of them may STILL vote for adams in the election, just "for spite".

8% more isn't going to help cuomo at this point.

Unless a miracle happens, he's toast.

No surprise there.  I wonder if/when Sliwa will throw in for Cuomo.  Sliwa is a true-blue NYC’er and will do what he can, eventually.
