Events\">mayoral race<\/a>. Speaking on CNBC&#8217;s *Squawk Box*, Cuomo dismissed a *New York Times* report suggesting that the Trump management might offer a position to incumbent Mayor Eric Adams as part of political maneuvering. Cuomo criticized the reported alliance between Trump and adams,saying Adams &#8220;would,frankly,be in jail but for President Trump.&#8221; He also rejected the idea that Trump supports another candidate, Zohran Mamdani, whom Republicans reportedly want to see win to portray democrats as socialists.Republican candidate Curtis Silwa also dismissed the rumors and urged focusing on protecting New Yorkers. Trump acknowledged his interest in narrowing the mayoral race but emphasized opposition to a &#8220;communist&#8221; mayor. The Washington Examiner reached out to the White House for comment. <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\">Andrew Cuomo denies being Trump&rsquo;s choice for New York mayor<\/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>Former Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3793998\/zohran-mamdani-slams-rumored-trump-intervention-behalf-rival-andrew-cuomo-nyc-mayoral-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Andrew Cuomo dismissed the notion<\/a> that he is President Donald Trump&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3793857\/democrats-decry-alleged-scheme-by-trump-to-meddle-in-nyc-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">preferred candidate in New York&rsquo;s mayoral race<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Cuomo appeared on CNBC&rsquo;s <em>Squawk Box<\/em> to respond to a <em>New York Times<\/em> report that White House advisers are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/09\/03\/nyregion\/trump-adams-sliwa-quit-nyc-mayor.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">considering a position for incumbent Mayor Eric Adams<\/a> in the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3796502\/kathy-hochul-endorsement-zohran-mamdani-nyc-mayoral-race\/\">Hochul dodges on endorsing Mamdani in NYC mayoral race: &#8216;Up to the voters&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3796415\/wes-moore-2028-presidential-run-reelection\/\">Wes Moore rules out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/disrespectful-kamala-allies-reportedly-feel-threatened-by-another-california-dem\/\" title=\"Kamala&#039;s allies reportedly feel threatened by another California Democrat, calling it disrespectful.\">2028 presidential run<\/a>, looks forward to reelection<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3795746\/governor-races-heat-up-nationally-virginia-bellwether\/\">Governor&rsquo;s races heat up nationally with Virginia as early bellwether<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t even know what that means,&rdquo; Cuomo said of the report. &ldquo;I know that you have an alliance between President Trump and Eric Adams.
