He reaffirmed his commitment to the race against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa and the former governor, who is also running on an independent line.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"6ps25\">\u201cI am in this race and I\u2019m the only one that can beat Mamdani,\u201d Adams said, wearing a polo shirt with \u201cmayor\u201d written on the back.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"406gq\">Adams lashed out at Mamdani and Cuomo, contrasting his working-class upbringing with the candidates he called \u201ctwo spoiled brats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"e5jjl\">\u201cThey were born with silver spoons in their mouths, not like working class New Yorkers,\u201d Adams said. \u201cI&#8217;m a working class New Yorker. They are not like us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"ekc9g\">Adams\u2019 announcement came after he traveled to Florida earlier this week. After initially saying that the mayor had traveled for personal reasons, campaign spokesperson Todd Shapiro confirmed after Adams\u2019 remarks that he met with Trump advisor Steve Witkoff. On Friday, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/09\/05\/nyregion\/eric-adams-saudi-arabia-ambassador.html\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times reported<\/a> Trump associates had discussed possibly making Adams ambassador to Saudi Arabia in exchange for him dropping his reelection bid.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"b0ag7\">The behind-the-scenes scheming was seen as an effort to consolidate the anti-Mamdani vote behind Cuomo, a Democrat with more centrist views than the party\u2019s nominee, who is a democratic socialist.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"35dt2\">Sliwa has insisted he will also stay in the race. He\u2019s also been dogged by rumors of a potential job offer from the White House.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"9v3um\">Hours before his press conference, Adams issued a statement saying he &#8220;will always listen if called to serve our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"96fs6\">A Cuomo spokesperson declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"5bq9u\">Polling shows Mamdani is the clear frontrunner. Cuomo is trailing Mamdani, followed by Sliwa and Adams.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"ce5eb\">\u201cIn November, we\u2019re going to deliver a city working New Yorkers can afford and turn the page on the broken, billionaire-backed politics of the past,\u201d Mamdani said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mayor Eric Adams said Friday that he will continue to seek reelection in November, angrily accusing Andrew Cuomo&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":206540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-206539","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-city","11":"tag-newyork","12":"tag-newyorkcity","13":"tag-ny","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115160698398091217","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=206539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=206539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
