Cuomo had announced he would stay in the race despite the setback, but Concha argued Cuomo assumed his name alone would secure the nomination and now seems unwilling to put in the necessary effort. Other candidates include Republican Curtis Sliwa and the incumbent Mayor Eric Adams,who is running as an independent.Some Republicans reportedly hope Mamdani&#8217;s potential victory could portray the Democratic Party as aligned with his views. Meanwhile, prominent figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have endorsed Mamdani. Both Adams and Sliwa have dismissed calls to drop out, with Adams condemning Cuomo&#8217;s alleged request for him to withdraw as arrogant. the race remains contested among several candidates despite Cuomo&#8217;s diminished prospects.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">&lsquo;No <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-failures-deepen-skepticism-of-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-efforts\/\" title=\"Federal failures deepen skepticism of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts\">energy&#038;rsquo<\/a>;
