New York City Mayor Eric Adams being eyed as Saudi ambassador: Reports
Trump advisers have proposed an ambassador post to Saudi Arabia to persuade New York City Mayor Eric Adams to exit the mayoral race and counter left-leaning candidate Zohran Mamdani.
- On Thursday, reports emerged that officials from the Trump administration are contemplating appointing Eric Adams, the current mayor of New York City, as ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
- This consideration follows efforts by Trump advisers to persuade Adams to drop out of the November mayoral race amid concerns about left-leaning candidate Zohran Mamdani.
- Adams has denied receiving formal offers and stated he is running for reelection, emphasizing his focus on crime reduction, housing, and quality of life improvements in the city of nearly 8.5 million residents.

- Adams' potential ambassador nomination and withdrawal could reshape the race, leaving Mamdani facing mainly former governor Andrew Cuomo, who runs as an independent.
