Andrew Cuomo, Adams took to a friendly forum — “Fox and Friends” — to attack the progressive star grabbing national headlines. “He’s a snake oil salesman,” Adams said.

City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams once again declined to voice support for a coalition of left-leaning candidates during a Saturday speech at Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network headquarters in Harlem. “I need you to rank Adrienne Adams as your number one candidate in ranked choice voting,” she told the audience, and made no mention of two candidates sitting behind her, Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander.

Early voting turnout in the Democratic primary election for mayor has doubled compared to four years ago — and experts say there's a possibility the numbers signal a "transformative" shift in New York City's electorate. A Gothamist analysis of data from the Board of Elections shows that 131,434 people cast ballots at their poll sites in the first four days of early voting this year. That’s double the number of voters at that point in the 2021 mayoral race.

"A lot of great deals have been made on the golf course," Mayor Adams says when asked if it was appropriate for his deputy mayor of public safety and top NYPD chief to be golfing with President Trump.

Adams later praises Mamdani, Cuomo's main opponent. Says he disagrees with Mamdani's policies. "But I respect the fact that he’s true to who he is. I don’t know who the other folks are."
Mayor Adams disputes whether Cuomo truly has the support of Orthodox groups and Black churches. "He's the master of giving the impression" he has the whole community, he says. He also makes a prediction: "Since the polls are shifting, he's going to start coming outside more."
