NEW YORK New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been reluctant to abandon his bid for reelection but an influential post in President Donald Trumps administration could incentivize him to bow out and make it easier to halt Zohran Mamdanis rise.
Adams has been offered a position at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to a person with direct knowledge of the offer who was granted anonymity to speak candidly about a sensitive matter......
The Trump administrations machinations were first reported by The New York Times, which also reported discussions of finding a position for Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa to get him out of the race. Sliwa has previously rejected the idea of serving in the Trump administration.
Worried about New York City being led by a democratic socialist, Republicans, centrist Democrats and business community leaders have been eager to consolidate anti-Mamdani voters behind one candidate. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat and former governor whos running as an independent, has been their preferred choice for defeating Mamdani, the Democratic nominee.
