New York City Mayor Eric Adams is making headlines by targeting former Governor Andrew Cuomo, a candidate who has not yet entered the 2025 Democratic primary race. In a recent interview, Adams emphasized that candidates will need to address their actions while in office, specifically calling out Cuomo for his role in signing bail reform laws in 2019. As Adams begins to informally kick off his re-election campaign, he aims to highlight the controversial bail reforms as part of his strategy.
Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 amidst sexual misconduct allegations, is rumored to be considering a political comeback. Recent polls indicate that he could lead Adams in a hypothetical primary matchup, garnering 44% support among Democrats compared to Adams' 24%. Meanwhile, Adams has faced criticism over crime rates in the city and has been accused of not doing enough to address recidivism.
Cuomo's camp has downplayed Adams' remarks, suggesting that they are premature and restating that Adams had previously endorsed bail reform. Still, tensions appear to be brewing as both men navigate a politically turbulent landscape with multiple declared challengers already in the race for the Democratic nomination.
