To no one's surprise, social service organization The Links confirms Eric Adams has bowed out of tonight's mayoral forum in Harlem. The remaining three major mayoral candidates, Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa, are still expected to participate, an organizer says.

After serving as Eric Adams' loyal lieutenant for years, Frank Carone, who runs a big lobbying firm, plans to start working for Cuomo, either on his campaign or in a super PAC capacity, with plans to make a decision this week on the exact role he'll play. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/28/m...

Adams' camp is being mum on what's next for him professionally now that he's no longer seeking reelection. His camp's also mum on whether he'll endorse anyone else for mayor. His camp did release this statement, tho, suggesting he might be out of the public spotlight for a bit.

BREAKING: Mayor Adams has ended his reelection campaign, ceding to weeks of pressure for him to get out of the race in order to maximize Andrew Cuomo's chances of beating Zohran Mamdani. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/28/m...

As he continues to not rule out suspending his reelection campaign, Mayor Adams just cancelled an appearance at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center 25 minutes after he was supposed to be there.

In a statement, Mayor Adams says he thanked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for "defending the western world and our way of life" during their meeting at the UN today.

don't blame Eric Adams for his flop era!!!! blame the media!! new from @katiehonan.bsky.social:

Today marks exactly one year since Eric Adams became the first sitting NYC mayor in modern history to be indicted on criminal charges.

As Mamdani issues this, Netanyahu takes the podium at the United Nations, prompting a large contigent of dignateries to walk out in protest. Mayor Adams is at the UN, listening to Netanyahu's speech.

Inbox: Mayor Adams plans to attend the morning session of tomorrow's United States General Assembly, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to deliver a speech.

Large anti-ICE march along Chambers Street in Manhattan, headed toward the agency's 26 Federal Plaza headquarters.

Before Mayor Adams & Randy Mastro began pushing to kill the "Just Home" project, sources say GOP Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato, a longtime opponent of the plan, offered to try to secure local support for Adams' reelection. Mastro & Marmorato deny that. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/25/n...

Council Speaker Adrienne Adams blasts First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro's "ridiculous" demand the Council not vote on the "Just Home" project today. She says his demand "carries no weight" legally and that the Council will thereby pass the project.

On The Breakfast Club on 105.1 FM, Mayor Adams is asked why he keeps putting out "ridiculous" videos on social media that the hosts say look inauthentic. "I don't know social media, brother," Adams says, adding that his "team" is in charge of those videos.

It was rumored earlier this week Council Speaker Adrienne Adams would maybe try to get her proposed rules changes — which have drawn some internal pushback — voted on already tomorrow. But the Council now isn't holding a rules hearing tomorrow where such a vote could've happen.

The City Council is expected later this week to approve the "Just Home" plan to build a housing complex in the Bronx for ex-inmates with serious health issues, bucking a last-ditch effort from Mayor Adams’ administration to block the project. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/23/n...

New: One of the most well-funded anti-Zohran Mamdani super PACs operating in this fall’s mayoral election recently dropped $250,000 on a set of attack ads that contain misleading stock imagery and curiously also compliment the Democratic front-runner. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/23/a...

In what could be one of her last big legislative pushes as speaker, Adrienne Adams is introing a bill that'd require private security guards get active-shooter training & better pay—measures meant to improve conditions for them after July's Midtown mass shooting. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/23/n...

Even as Mayor Adams echoes the Trump admin in vowing to rescind NYC schools' gender neutral bathroom policies, Adams' Education Department sent a letter last week questioning the legitimacy of Trump's threat to pull funding over the issue. w/ @caylabam.bsky.social www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/22/n...

Jimmy Kimmel's back on the air tomorrow as ABC has uncancelled his show. No word yet, though, on whether @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will reverse his decision to cancel his appearance at a town hall event hosted by ABC in protest of the Kimmel canning. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/22/z...

On conservative talk radio host Sid Rosenberg's show, Eric Adams claims reporting on his possible exit from the mayoral race has prevented him from raising funds and securing endorsements. "I have another candidate in the race and that's the media," he says.

If you want to understand this Trump administration's rampant corruption ... you have to go back to Eric Adams, and how they made the case against him disappear. I got a bunch of new details on this deep dive for @nytimes.com ... www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

New: First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro ordered city officials to not testify at a Council hearing today about a Bronx housing project for ex-inmates, per sources.This comes after we first reported Mastro has been trying to derail the plan, which Adams used to back. Story coming

Even tho he used to represent anti-horse carriage industry advocates, Randy Mastro, Mayor Adams' top aide, has been working with them on finding a "better path" for the industry. Today, Adams called for a ban on the industry. w/ @simko-bednarski.bsky.social www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/17/a...

New Yorkers are waiting longer than ever for ambulances during emergencies, but most crime rates have dropped in NYC and timely processing of benefits like food stamps is improving modestly, per Mayor Adams' latest (and potentially final) management report. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/17/b...

our story:

The Eric Adams fundraiser charged with bribing her way into a city shelter program for her Queens hotels is now also charged with helping the program boss liquidate part of that alleged bribe — a $107,000 Mercedes — as the feds closed in.

Pressure could be mounting on Gov. Hochul to get on board with Zohran Mamdani's push to raise taxes on NYC millionaires, as Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins both sound gung ho about it. w/ @josiestratman.bsky.social www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/17/h...

"She is one vote," Mayor Adams says once again (incorrectly) on 94.7 The Block of Gov. Hochul endorsing Zohran Mamdani. Hochul isn't registered to vote in NYC so she does not, in fact, have a vote.

On WCBS, Mayor Adams says he's done such a good job as mayor he'll be "up there with the LaGuardias" in the history books. He also claims Mamdani supporters are "nasty" because some people yelled "F you" at him as he was going into a church recently.

"Races are won within three to four weeks" from the election, Mayor Adams says in downplaying polls showing him trailing badly in the November race. He insists he's staying in the race, but also says "when" something changes with his campaign he "will announce it."

"The goal, they said, was to categorize left-wing activity that led to violence as domestic terrorism, an escalation that critics said could lay the groundwork for crushing anti-conservative dissent more broadly." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

New: Randy Mastro, Mayor Adams’ powerful top aide, is trying to block a plan to build housing in the Bronx for ex-cons with serious health issues — even tho Adams has been a big supporter. This is only the latest Adams initiative Mastro's tried to block. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/15/t...

Awkward? Andrew Cuomo’s newly-hired mayoral campaign pollster blasted the ex-governor as “arrogant” and “out of touch” in 2021 after he resigned amid sexual misconduct accusations. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/15/c...

New: The allegedly undocumented romantic partner of Wendy Garcia, a high-ranking DOC official in Mayor Adams' admin, was detained by ICE agents last month as part of Trump's "mass deportation" campaign. Adams' admin hasn't spoken out about the arrest. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/15/b...

Notable line in Hochul's endorsement of Mamadani: "Mr. Mamdani and I don’t see eye to eye on everything, and I don’t expect us to. I will always reserve the right to disagree honestly and to argue passionately." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/o...

Contradicting his own campaign officials, Mayor Adams said during a swing through the Bronx today that the internal poll he's planning to conduct isn't about determining whether to drop out of the race, but about figuring out the "right messaging." www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/12/a...

New: Tony Herbert, a senior City Hall aide and longtime friend of Mayor Adams, was fired this week after claiming on social media that the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk amounted to “karma." w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/12/a...

Speaking to reporters in Brooklyn, Cuomo dismisses Mayor Adams' new proposal to run a poll soon that he'll use to make a decision on whether to stay in the race. Cuomo says all polls already show Adams doesn't have a shot and adds: "Every day, he's only serving to be a spoiler."

The internal poll Eric Adams plans to use as basis for whether to stay in the mayor's race will be conducted "soon," his adviser Frank Carone tells the Daily News. When I asked Adams himself about timing, he suggested the question was offensive to pose on 9/11. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/11/i...

A Manhattan judge rejects Jim Walden's request to remove his name from November's mayoral election ballot, saying the court doesn't have the power to do so under the law. This all but certainly means Eric Adams' name will stay on the ballot, too, even if he drops out.

On "Fox & Friends," Mayor Adams says Charlie Kirk was killed "merely because of his beliefs." There has not been any arrests in the Kirk shooting yet.

At the Ground Zero Memorial ceremony, where Vice President JD Vance was supposed to appear. However, Vance is cancelling the appearance in order to meet with Charlie Kirk's family instead, per organizers.

We reported yesterday on talks about Adams potentially taking a job at Related in order to drop out of the NYC mayoral race: www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/09/n...

Mayor Eric Adams’ parks department is moving ahead to let the Related Companies continue running the city-owned Wollman Rink — ending the Trump Organization’s quest to reclaim control of the popular sports facility in Central Park. — via @gregbsmithnyc.bsky.social www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/10/p...

New: Fix the City, a super PAC that spent $22.5M on propping up Andrew Cuomo’s failed primary campaign, is teaming up with at least one other independent spending group to form a pro-Cuomo coalition as he faces front-runner Zohran Mamdani in November. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/10/b...

New: Andrew Cuomo’s campaign unlocked $4,000 in public matching funds off of donations made in the names of minors in violation of fundraising laws. The minors in question include a 5-year-old son of Hamptons Rabbi Marc Schneier, a key Cuomo ally. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/10/c...

On the Reset Talk Show, Mayor Adams claims reporting about his considering dropping out of the race to take a Trump job are manufactured to hurt his chances. "Life has never been fair," says Adams, who was polling at the back of the pack long before this reporting emerged.
