Adams Ditches NYC Mayoral Bid Amid Mamdani's Surging Support in Final Stretch

New York City Mayor Eric Adams dropped out of the city's mayoral race on Sunday, halting his re-election campaign following weeks of speculation about clearing the way for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo to run. The move comes as a Mamdani has been gaining ground in the campaign. Details of the situation are still unfolding, but it appears Adams is ending his bid without a clear alternative winner.
