In a significant political shift, two influential unions in New York City, the Hotel Trades Council and Local 32 BJ, have decided to endorse former Governor Andrew Cuomo for mayor, pulling their support from the incumbent Eric Adams. This comes amidst a trend of powerful unions, including those representing ambulance workers, also abandoning Adams. Cuomo, who is now considered the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, has gained traction in the race, further fueled by endorsements from various elected officials as Adams struggles to maintain support amid changing political dynamics.
The Hotel Trades Council and Local 32 BJ have announced their endorsement of Andrew Cuomo, marking a significant shift from their support of incumbent Mayor Eric Adams.
Scores of powerful unions have already abandoned Adams' re-election bid, following his decision to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming mayoral race.
Cuomo is emerging as the clear front-runner for the Democratic nomination, with recent polls showing him leading the crowded primary despite Adams' earlier support.
Support for Cuomo extends beyond unions, as several elected officials, including Rep. Ritchie Torres, have publicly changed their allegiance from Eric Adams.
