US EditionBen Max on Adams' Decision to End His Reelection Bid
Eric Adams withdrew amid scandals and funding challenges, leaving a contest between Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary by double digits, and Andrew Cuomo running as an independent.
- Eric Adams ended his struggling reelection bid in a nearly nine-minute social-media video on Sunday, and his name will remain on ballots after quitting past the printing deadline.
- Funding shortfalls and relentless media scrutiny forced Adams to withdraw after federal prosecutors brought bribery and fraud charges that crippled his campaign.
- Recent surveys consistently place Zohran Mamdani at 46%, Andrew Cuomo at 30%, and Curtis Sliwa at 18%, with Mamdani maintaining his lead after Adams' exit.

- Mamdani has seized the moment by framing the race as grassroots versus establishment, saying `Adams' record is Andrew Cuomo's agenda` and promoting free buses and child care while Cuomo demands five debates before Nov. 4.
