Overview

• An American Pulse poll released Thursday shows Zohran Mamdani at 36.9%, with Andrew Cuomo at 24.6%, Curtis Sliwa at 16.8% and Eric Adams at 11.4%, underscoring the impact of a four-way race.
• Adams publicly condemned Mamdani’s past support for decriminalizing prostitution, invoking religious objections, while Mamdani praised de Blasio-era moves to shift enforcement away from sex workers.
• Adams’ ally Winnie Greco was sidelined from campaign activity after allegedly handing a reporter cash concealed in a potato chip bag; the reporter turned the money over to editors and authorities.
• Adams must choose between “Safe & Affordable” and “EndAntiSemitism” ballot lines after an elections board ruling, with his campaign exploring legal options over the decision.
• A $250,000 donation from philanthropist Elizabeth Simons boosted a pro-Mamdani PAC, as billionaire-backed groups that tried to stop him in the primary reorganize to oppose him in November.
