Next the Trump Republican’s want Republican Curtis Sliwa out…..
Why?
Well?
In Direct Mamdani vs Cuomo New York City Mayor race polling?
Andrew Cuomo CLOSES on Zohran Mamdani….
And Republicans and Some Democrats and others DO NOT want a guy who ran with the Democratic Socialists to become the Mayor of the City of New York…
Adams has ALREADY got a ‘favor’ from Trump in dismissed Federal criminal charges…
THAT helped Adams , but has soiled his name so much that he has NO CHANCE of keeping his job past January 1, 2026….
You notice Trump & Co. ARE up front in all this….
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been reluctant to abandon his bid for reelection — but an influential post in President Donald Trump’s administration could incentivize him to bow out and make it easier to halt Zohran Mamdani’s 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 mayor, who has a friendly working and political relationship with Trump, met with the president’s team during his visit Tuesday to Florida, two people familiar with the plans said.
A White House official would neither confirm nor deny that Trump advisers are talking with Adams.
The Trump administration’s 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 rejectedthe 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 who’s running as an independent, has been their preferred choice for defeating Mamdani, the Democratic nominee.
But Cuomo lost decisively to the novice state assemblymember in the June Democratic primary in a shock to the Democratic establishment. Cuomo is still polling far behind Mamdani in the general election, but some surveys suggest he could defeat Mamdani head-to-head, thanks to support from Republican and independent voters…..
Note…
Me thinks the final vote total’s are gonna MUCH closer then the current double digit lead Mamdani ejoys now in early September….
Update….
Trump calls Mamdani a ‘communist,’ says Adams ‘free to do what he wants’
President Trump on Friday appeared resigned to “a communist in New York City” after incumbent Mayor Eric Adams (D) announced plans to stick with his independent reelection bid, despite calls from the White House for a one-on-one race between former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and Democratic primary winner Zohran Mamdani.
“He’s free to do what he wants,” Trump said of Adams as he spoke to reporters in the Oval Office.
“It would seem to me … that the only way you’re going to beat the communist — because you have a communist running. Which is fine. I’ll have to deal with a communist in New York City. I never thought that was going to happen. … It would seem to me that if he stays in, if you have more than one candidate running against him, it can’t be won.”
The president’s comments came moments after Adams announced he would stay in the mayoral race, amid reports that he might be offered a job in the Trump administration as a way to help consolidate opposition against Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, and clear the way for a one-on-one battle with Cuomo, who also is running as an independent….
