In a video statement, Adams said his campaign was no longer viable after the city’s Campaign Finance Board withheld matching funds and relentless speculation about his future undermined fundraising. “Despite all we’ve achieved, I cannot continue my re-election campaign,” he said. Without Adams, Mamdani’s margin narrows but remains significant at 46 percent to Cuomo’s 30 percent and Sliwa’s 17 percent. According to the Quinnipiac poll, 75 percent of Jewish voters view Mamdani unfavorably. Adams’s withdrawal now clears the way for voters opposed to Mamdani’s agenda to coalesce around a single challenger in November.
