Here's how Adrienne Adams quietly got the coveted Hasidic nod Andrew Cumo longed for
Briefly

City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams recently gained endorsements from over two dozen Hasidic sects and schools in Borough Park, positioning her as an appealing candidate in the mayoral race. The endorsements not only enhance her candidacy but also represent a strategic move to support Mayor Eric Adams, who is running for re-election as an independent. This development challenges former Governor Andrew Cuomo's efforts to unify Orthodox voters behind him. The mayoral race is tight, with polls showing competition among key candidates, including Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist.
City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams has secured over 25 Hasidic endorsements, positioning her as a dark horse in the tumultuous mayoral race ahead of the June primary.
The endorsements for Adrienne Adams may serve to bolster the embattled Mayor Adams, who has quit the Democrats and is running as an independent candidate.
