HeadlineJun 27, 2025

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday he’s running for reelection in November as an independent. Adams will face front-runner Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist who defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s Democratic mayoral primary. CNN reports Cuomo will not drop out of the race by today’s deadline to remove himself from the general election ballot. Instead, Cuomo’s name will appear under a ballot line for a newly created third party named “Fight and Deliver.”
