Adams called for Cuomo to withdraw from the New York City mayoral race to consolidate opposition against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani. Despite still being a Democrat, Adams is campaigning as an independent after losing the primary. Mamdani, who criticizes Democratic establishment politics, advocates for progressive policies and is critical of US foreign policy regarding Israel. Adams portrayed Mamdani as out of touch with mainstream Democrats, expressing concerns about public safety and opposing policies like emptying Rikers Island and defunding the police.
Adams urged Cuomo to exit the New York City mayoral race and unify the opposition to controversial Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, stating, "That's the right thing to do for the city of New York."
Mamdani has built his campaign around challenging the Democratic Party's brand of establishment politics, critiquing Israel's military actions and supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
