In his address, he stated he would be suspending his independent campaign, blaming the city\u2019s Campaign Finance Board\u2019s refusal to grant millions in matching funds and what he called ongoing negative media attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDespite what we&#8217;ve accomplished, I am unable to pursue re-election,\u201d Adams said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a picture of his late mother nearby, Adams looked back on his administration, citing progress in housing, reductions in murders and shootings, and a comeback from COVID-19\u2019s economic challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe continued press discussion about my future and the board\u2019s decision to cut funding have made it impossible to mount a viable campaign,\u201d Adams remarked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This move comes after months of low poll numbers, with Adams struggling to recover from earlier corruption accusations, even after being cleared.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mamdani, Cuomo, and Sliwa Now Dominate Field<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that Adams has exited, the remaining top candidates include Democratic nominee <\/span><a href='https:\/\/nycpolitics.com\/gov-hochul-backs-zohran-mamdani-drawing-praise-and-pushback\/'><b>Zohran Mamdani<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Republican <\/span><b>Curtis Sliwa<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and former Gov. <\/span><a href='https:\/\/nycpolitics.com\/im-in-it-to-win-it-cuomo-vows-to-stay-in-nyc-mayor-race-despite-setback\/'><b>Andrew Cuomo<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, running independently. Mamdani holds a polling lead but lacks outright majority, leaving room for other candidates to influence the outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adams did not back any candidate, instead warning of &#8220;chaos&#8221; from sweeping free-service promises\u2014a direct jab at Mamdani. Cuomo faces criticism for alleged undisclosed coordination with Trump\u2019s team, which he has denied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sliwa argues that only he can beat Mamdani, and accuses Cuomo\u2019s supporters of offering bribes for him to exit the race, claims that Cuomo rejects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mamdani swiftly commented on Adams\u2019 decision, stating, \u201cNew York is entitled to more than swapping one disgraced politician for another,\u201d linking Adams\u2019 exit to Cuomo and Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adams\u2019 Short-Lived Tenure<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the city\u2019s second Black mayor, Adams assumed office in 2022, vowing to boost safety and affordability. His tenure, like that of <\/span><b>David Dinkins<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, now ends after a single term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBeing your mayor has been a true honor,\u201d Adams stated. \u201cWe turned our historic victory four years ago into meaningful change for those most in need.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Adams lists his achievements in housing, crime-fighting, and pandemic recovery, his approval ratings never rebounded. Many residents remained unconvinced that life improved under his leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What the Future Holds for Adams and the Mayoral Race<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Adams is suspending his run, his name stays on the November 4 ballot, since the window for removal has closed. His lingering presence may pull a few votes, but most experts tip Cuomo to gain the most from Adams\u2019 departure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adams hasn&#8217;t announced any future plans. He urged voters to select candidates based on results, not rhetoric.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With about six weeks left, the race focuses on Mamdani, Cuomo, and Sliwa in a high-stakes contest poised to influence the city\u2019s political direction for years ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, Mayor Eric Adams revealed he will withdraw from his re-election campaign.
