Fresh off losing New York’s Democratic primary for mayor to Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday ramped up his efforts to push the incumbent mayor, Eric Adams, out of the race.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams says former Gov. Andrew Cuomo has asked him to drop his re-election bid as the latter considers his next potential steps in the race. Adams said, when asked, in an interview with CNBC that he had indeed spoken with Cuomo since the primary.
