Trump mulls offering NYC Mayor Eric Adams admin post to boost Cuomo: Report
The Trump administration aims to influence the 2025 New York City mayoral race by offering Mayor Eric Adams a federal role to consolidate opposition against frontrunner Zohran Mamdani.
- On Wednesday, top White House officials discussed offering New York City Mayor Eric Adams a Trump administration role to remove him from the mayoral race, aiming for a Cuomo-Mamdani contest; talks reached high-level officials but President Donald Trump’s involvement remains unclear.
- Because the field has four contenders, a crowded field of four mayoral contenders has helped firm up Zohran Mamdani's lead at 42% while Mayor Eric Adams hovers around 9%, increasing pressure to consolidate opposition behind Andrew Cuomo.
- On Tuesday, Jim Walden, independent candidate, suspended his campaign as advisers discussed offering Eric Adams a senior post at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and finding a role for Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa.
- In immediate response, Adams' camp denied the offer and insisted he is not dropping out, while Zohran Mamdani held a September 3 presser denouncing alleged intervention.
- Amid signs of an escalating intervention, Eric Adams met with President Donald Trump on Monday, returned from Florida on Tuesday, and billionaire donor John Catsimatidis suggested the race could shift quickly.
