New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Monday that fellow mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo urged Adams to drop his reelection bid, saying the former governor has a “real history” of taking similar action with other Black elected officials.

Adams claimed Cuomo played a role in the 2002 defeat of H. Carl McCall’s gubernatorial bid, and also “pushed out” Charlie King from the 2006 state attorney general election.
