Eric Adams Withdraws from NYC Mayoral Race: Too Late to Change November Election Outcome?

Sep 29, 2025 11:59 pm CST

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has withdrawn from his reelection campaign with just 37 days until Election Day, a move that analysts believe comes too late to significantly impact the race. While the decision could boost fundraising for former Governor Andrew Cuomo, frontrunner Zohran Mamdani maintains a substantial polling lead. With Adams' name still appearing on the ballot and Republican Curtis Sliwa refusing to withdraw, political experts question whether this late-stage development can truly alter the expected outcome of November's mayoral election.
