Overview

• New reporting says Trump administration advisers explored offering Mayor Eric Adams a federal post to encourage him to exit the race, with outreach also linked to Curtis Sliwa through ally John Catsimatidis.
• Adams’ campaign said he has not met with President Trump and is not dropping out, while Sliwa said he was not contacted and is not interested in a White House job.
• Andrew Cuomo denied speaking with Trump and argued it would make more political sense for the president to prefer Zohran Mamdani as the Democratic standard-bearer.
• Mamdani, interviewed on MSNBC, said he would coordinate with state leaders to challenge federal National Guard deployments, citing a recent California ruling that found a prior deployment illegal.
• The Democratic nominee remains the polling front-runner as anti-Mamdani candidates stay in the race, with Cuomo’s camp urging consolidation and praising a minor candidate’s decision to withdraw.
