New York City Mayor Eric Adams wouldn't commit to seeing his re-election campaign through to Election Day, saying on MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation” Saturday that he will make the “right decision for the city of New York.”

For weeks, Adams has faced rumors that he could drop out of the race in an effort to boost former Gov. Andrew Cuomo over Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, a state assemblyman. President Donald Trump told reporters earlier this month, “I would like to see two people drop out” of the race. Adams soon after held a defiant press conference saying he’d stay in the race and that he’s received no “formal offers” from the White House.

But during his Saturday interview, Adams lamented the media coverage of his campaign, arguing it has hurt his ability to mount a competitive run.

“If someone constantly reports, even when you say otherwise, that you’re leaving the race the next day, you’re leaving the race the next day, you lose your funders and your donors. And so it’s been a real challenge for me to raise the money that I need to run for office,” Adams said.

“Is the real agenda to cover me the same way you are covering the other candidates or to undermine my campaign?”
