Adams stated that serving as mayor is the only job he&#8217;s ever wanted and emphasized his dedication to improving public safety, schools, housing, and costs for working families in new York City. While he remains open to serving the country if formally called upon, no official offer has been made, and his current focus is on the city&#8217;s residents.<\/p>\n<p>The rumored nomination is part of a strategy reportedly supported by former President Donald Trump, who believes former Governor Andrew Cuomo would be a stronger candidate against progressive Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/philly-dem-mayoral-primary-winner-hospitalized-skips-victory-party\/\" title=\"Philly Dem ...al Primary Winner Hospitalized, Skips Victory Party.\">upcoming mayoral election<\/a>. Mamdani, who has gained popularity with progressive policies like free bus and childcare services, defeated Cuomo in the Democratic primary and is currently the front-runner.<\/p>\n<p>The article notes that adams, Cuomo, and Republican Curtis Sliwa&#8217;s simultaneous runs may split the vote, potentially benefiting Mamdani. Trump&#8217;s alleged efforts to persuade Adams and Sliwa to withdraw aim to consolidate support behind Cuomo. However, Sliwa insists that he will stay in the race.<\/p>\n<p>New York Governor Kathy Hochul criticized Trump&#8217;s alleged interference in the mayoral race, asserting that no one should accept such &#8220;kingmaker&#8221; assistance and affirming that new York will not be &#8220;sold out.&#8221; The overall political tension highlights the complex dynamics of the upcoming New york City mayoral election. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/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\">Adams recommits to NYC mayoral race while <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >leaving door open<\/a> to rumored Trump appointment<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2221921\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York City<\/a> Mayor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/eric-adams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eric Adams<\/a> responded to rumors Friday that he is set to drop out of the city&rsquo;s mayoral race and take a job in the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>Adams recommitted to the race, but left the door open to join the administration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3795116\/biden-team-wanted-him-sign-pardons-by-hand-not-autopen\/\">Biden&#8217;s team wanted him to sign pardons by hand, not autopen<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3793283\/trump-200th-white-house-executive-order-rename-pentagon-war-department\/\">Executive warpath: Trump issuing 200th White House order to remake Pentagon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/3795232\/pirro-two-17-year-olds-arrested-killed-intern-eric-tarpinian-jachym\/\">Pirro announces two 17-year-olds arrested in case of killed intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Serving New Yorkers as their mayor is the only job I&rsquo;ve ever wanted,&rdquo; Adams said in a statement. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m proud of the progress we made lowering crime, improving schools, building housing, and cutting costs for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-take-stock-as-trump-talk-turns-into-action-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Democrats take stock as Trump talk turns into action - Washington Examiner\">working families &#038;mdash<\/a>; and I remain the best person to lead this city forward.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;While I will always listen if called to serve our country, no formal offers have been made. I am still running for reelection, and my full focus is on the safety and quality of life of every New Yorker,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration is reportedly planning on nominating Adams to be the ambassador to Saudi Arabia in order to end his unlikely bid for reelection, according to the <em>New York Times<\/em>. President Donald Trump reportedly believes former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is the best candidate to face off against Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, who is favored to win the November election.<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani gathered a progressive movement with his free bus and childcare promises and upended Cuomo&rsquo;s bid to be the Democratic nominee in June despite the former governor leading in the polls most of the way.<\/p>\n<p>With the city hosting mostly Democratic voters, Mamdani has led in the polls for the general election and likely has the best chance to win. Adams, Cuomo, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa are currently running against Mamdani, and in the current candidate configuration, are likely to split the vote.<\/p>\n<p>If Adams and Sliwa drop out, which the Trump administration has allegedly tried to make happen, Cuomo would have a much better shot to beat Mamdani. It still isn&rsquo;t clear how close the race would be in that scenario.<\/p>\n<p>Sliwa has been resistant to any calls for him to drop out of the race. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m in this race to win it,&rdquo; he wrote on social media Thursday. &ldquo;I love New York City too much to walk away, and I&rsquo;ll never abandon it. Thank you to New Yorkers for the outpouring of support. The momentum is on our side and together we&rsquo;re going to take this city back.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY), who will be in heavy correspondence with whoever the next mayor of the city is, has been dismayed by the Adams news.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/crime-in-cities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CRIME IN US CITIES AS TRUMP AIMS TO EXPAND CRACKDOWN: LATEST COVERAGE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Contrary to what the president thinks, he&rsquo;s not a king.
