Eric Adams Rejects Andrew Cuomo's Bid for Mayor in 2025

New York City Mayor Eric Adams dismissed the possibility of former Governor Andrew Cuomo running for mayor, stating that he doesn't see Cuomo seeking the position. Adams acknowledged that Cuomo is considering a political comeback but emphasized his focus on running New York City. Cuomo, who resigned amid sexual harassment allegations, has not ruled out a return to politics and has indicated interest in a mayoral bid. However, sources close to Cuomo do not expect him to directly challenge Adams in a Democratic primary. Adams is currently facing scrutiny from federal investigators regarding potential collusion with the Turkish government. Additionally, Adams has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 1993, which he denies. Cuomo is also facing multiple lawsuits alleging sexual harassment.
