NYC Mayor Adams alleges former Gov. Cuomo asked him to quit the mayoral race, accusing him of racial bias.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams claimed former Governor Andrew Cuomo asked him to drop out of the mayoral race, citing Cuomo's "highest level of arrogance." Adams, running as an independent, accused Cuomo of thinking he could defeat Adams due to his skin color. This comes amid heightened national attention on the race, including former President Trump's promise to arrest Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani if he interferes with ICE actions.
