Honestly I was kind of hoping he'd stay in and draw votes away from Cuomo.

Any bets on what job he got offered by the Trump administration for this (arc)? I'm going to guess he ends up working for RFK Jr.somehow (arc).
Trump and New York businesses both offered Eric Adams jobs in exchange for dropping out.
Wouldn't they want him to stay in, to spoil Mandami?
Or did they figure more republicans would split for Adams than dems split for Adams?
Adams’ name will still be on ballots this fall, since he exited the race after a deadline to print them.
That's funny. Every vote for Adams will be a mistake, as was always the case.
I imagine that he's currently having a cry about what stephen miller's wife's bagman has told him the regime wants him to do next.
So Trump's giving him a job?
Presumably chief corruption officer
Ambassador.
Saudi Arabia and Turkey seem to be options.

...now it is David vs Goliath...I hope Zohran wipes the floor with Cuomo...
On the one hand, fuck adams. On the other, I appreciated him splitting the idiot and asshole votes between him and cuomo.
His name will still be on the ballot, so he'll probably leach some of the idiot vote, still.
The only problem I have with this is that he was providing some (admittedly minimal) dilution to the Cuomo opposition. Now Cuomo can market his gain as "increasing support" for his policies.
In the end I don't think it will matter, but we still are yet to hit the usual "October surprise" period so I don't like to get cocky.
Last gasp push to consolidate the Cuomo vote?
I hope Mamdani enjoys his new job.
Oh oh. It's happening. They're consolidating. Expect a huge October surprise. And if nothing else works, Kirking the leading candidate.
Geez, and here I thought I was being pessimistic. Thanks for the new verb, tho!
Doing Security Work my coworker asked if I Charlie Kirked the homeless man I removed from property. This was like a day after it happened, fucking hilarious
Press full flush, shit be gone
Mamdani and Sliwa are the only two adults in the race.
They'd have to consolidate all other votes behind Cuomo to even have a chance, looking at the latest polling.
LoL, that's assuming the people who were going to vote for Adams are going to vote for Cuomo and not Sliwa. Adam's was saved from prosecution by Trump and had his endorsement. No liberal worth anything would have been planning yo vote for him.
Yeah it's about time this ratfuck scumbag fuck off back to the cesspit he crawled out of.
So Trump is giving him Ambassador to Turkey I hear.
How did he drop "out"? Did he have some in his pocket, went the get his keys, and the whole shebang just fell at once? That's rough, man
