NYC Mayor Eric Adams Announces He’s Dropping Out of Mayoral Race

HeadlineSep 29, 2025

New York Mayor Eric Adams announced on Sunday he is dropping out of the mayoral race. President Trump and New York business leaders had pressured Adams to drop out in order to help disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo beat Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist assemblymember who upset Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary in June. Cuomo is now running as an independent. After headlines, we will air an exclusive interview with Zohran Mamdani.
