State Attorney General Letitia James is advocating for Council Speaker Adrienne Adams to consider running for mayor to counteract former Governor Andrew Cuomo's anticipated comeback. Democratic insiders have indicated that many seek an alternative to Cuomo, who is viewed as a formidable candidate. James has engaged with prominent Democrats about Adams, while the current political landscape sees Mayor Eric Adams under pressure following corruption concerns. Past supporters of Cuomo remain vocal, illustrating the complex dynamics of local political loyalties and community support in the lead-up to potential mayoral elections.
"People are looking for an alternative to Cuomo. None of the current candidates are capable of beating Cuomo," claimed the source, who requested anonymity.
"Of course I'm going to be with Andrew. I've known him since he was a young man," Cook, 87, said.
