New York City Mayor Eric Adams drops out of Mayoral race

New York Mayor Eric Adams announced Sunday he was abandoning his reelection bid and kicked off a three-way race between popular Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, fellow Democrat Andrew Cuomo, 67, and Republican Curtis Sliwa, 71.

“Despite all we’ve achieved, I cannot continue my reelection campaign," Adams said in a video statement posted to X on Sunday.

“The constant media speculation about my future and the campaign finance board’s decision to withhold millions of dollars have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign."
