Overview

• In an MSNBC interview with Al Sharpton, Eric Adams said he could not rule out exiting and vowed to make the right decision for New York City.
• Adams argued repeated reports that he might drop out have scared off donors and hindered his ability to fund ads, mailings, and staff.
• He thanked President Trump for what he called help related to his dismissed federal case and said Trump has never asked anything of him.
• Pressed about alleged quid pro quo claims, Adams said he never discussed the indictment with Trump and rejected accusations of any arrangement.
• Recent polls show Zohran Mamdani near 45% support, Andrew Cuomo around 25%, and Adams in single digits, as reports of a potential Trump job offer for Adams have receded.
