New York City Mayor Eric Adams will endorse Andrew Cuomo for mayor ahead of November's election and plans to campaign with him, his spokesperson confirmed, with details of joint appearances still pending. The move follows Adams' exit from the race last month. Adams and Cuomo, once third-party rivals, were seen together after Cuomo took part in the final mayoral debate. Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, who has maintained double-digit leads, reacted on X by calling the endorsement "The Art of the Deal." Some surveys show Cuomo gaining ground since Adams withdrew.
