The end of Mayor Adams’ reelection bid: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Mayor Adams’ choice to drop out of the New York City mayoral race.
Finally, one bum has dropped out of the mayoral race (“Mayor is putting NY first: Cuo,” Sept. 29).
But is The Post going to endorse Andrew Cuomo now? What do you’ve towards Curtis Sliwa? He can win if people push for him.
If Andrew Cuomo would observe Mayor Adams’ lead and clear the best way for Sliwa, New Yorkers would then have two very distinct futures to select from.
Five weeks — that’s all we’ve got. Make it price one thing.
Get out and vote for Sliwa, people. New York City is your home — it’s your life.

All of Adams’ wounds are self-inflicted.
He might have protected himself from his own narcissistic tendencies and people of his corrupt aides by hiring Randy Mastro as first deputy mayor sooner somewhat than later.
For the sake of town, I’m simply glad he selected to do the precise factor and drop out.

Adams’ withdrawal from the mayoral race was inevitable. The identical will maintain true for Sliwa.
However, I’m outraged on the information report saying it’s too late to re-tool the ballots. If that’s so, there shall be a lot of confusion on the voting cubicles come November.
If these poll types aren’t re-tooled, Zohran Mamdani might nonetheless turn out to be mayor.

As a proud New Yorker of 75 years, I thank Mayor Adams. He is one of essentially the most caring, lively mayors in my lifetime.
If Mamdani wins the election, I’ll by no means set foot in New York City again.

Adams dropping out leaves New Yorkers with a selection between antisemitic communist Mamdani enjoying class warfare, Republican Guardian Angel Sliwa promising public security and Cuomo, who’s promising inexpensive housing.
There are requires both Sliwa or Cuomo to bow out.
Considering Sliwa gained the Republican major and Cuomo misplaced the Democratic major, Cuomo could be thought-about the spoiler within the race.

Adams withdrawing from the race shuffles the votes. Will the voters who had been going to vote for Adams vote for Cuomo or Sliwa now?
There’s not enough votes on the market for each of them to proceed, even with Adams withdrawing. Mamdani might nonetheless win the election.
However, if Sliwa withdraws, I consider voters will solid their vote for Cuomo. In a two-man race, he has a superb likelihood of successful.
I, for one, don’t need a socialist as our mayor. That could be a complete catastrophe. It’s now up to Curtis.

New York City is definitely one of essentially the most lovely cities on the earth. For that cause, I clearly perceive why Adams wished to proceed as its mayor.
His street to political prosperity doesn’t end with him dropping out.
I want him effectively as he pursues any future political endeavors. Well achieved and farewell, Mayor Adams.

Nobody ought to be shocked by Adams’ withdrawal. If it’s all about re-grading his report, he nonetheless will get an F.
This man ushered in every thing improper with the progressive Democratic agenda.
He set a poor precedent for different minority mayors by assuming he might embrace reckless social insurance policies and poor financial insurance policies, but nonetheless anticipate people to donate to his marketing campaign.
Greg Raleigh
Washington, DC
I commend Adams for placing New York City earlier than his own self-interest. Now that he’s formally ended his marketing campaign, Cuomo has a glimmer of a likelihood of stopping a communist takeover.
Of course, many of us by no means thought that we’d be cheering for the disgraced former governor. But with Republican candidate Sliwa polling a distant third, he doesn’t look promising.
