Overview

• On CNBC, Andrew Cuomo called it "ludicrous" to say he is President Trump’s choice and argued Republicans actually want Zohran Mamdani to win, labeling Mamdani a "radical socialist."
• Trump told reporters he would "like to see two people drop out" to create a one‑on‑one race and disparaged Mamdani as a "communist," following reports his advisers discussed incentives for rivals to leave the contest.
• Mayor Eric Adams denied receiving a formal offer for a federal post and said he is staying in the race, even as reporting detailed his talks about potential roles and a meeting with Trump ally Steve Witkoff.
• Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa said he has not been offered a job and insisted he will remain a candidate rather than clear the field.
• Top Democrats such as Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer and Gov. Kathy Hochul have not fully endorsed Mamdani, with Israel‑related criticisms cited, while Mamdani highlighted recent support from Bernie Sanders and a retired NYPD veteran.
