The day after the mayor of Adams announced that he Completion of his re -election campaignZoran Mamdani struck the Andrew Kuomo record as the governor, Kuomo held the campaign in Manhattan, and the old Adams Ellie said that he was already working on phones to try to rally the support of the former governor.
A The mayor's exit from the race On Sunday, he marked a dramatic and historical turn, which created a narrower field that could potentially give an impulse Kuomo, which encountered a two -digit loss of Mamdani in many surveys, when Adams was still in the run. The candidate is no longer, the political and donor bases of Adams can begin to migrate to Kuomo, given their general moderate political feelings and coinciding electoral districts.
Frank CaroneAdams’s long -standing political trustage, who held the post of chairman of the re -election campaign, said shortly after the mayor’s Sunday announcement that he plans to start work in some way to help choose Kuomo.
After that, Carone called a number of business leaders and asked if they would consider providing money by Super Pac, supporting Cuomo, two sources directly familiar with this issue of Daily News. Carone was not concrete in relation to which PAC he would like to contribute.
“Of course, I did it,” Karone told on Monday when he was asked if he had already tried to get the financial support of Cuomo.
Karone said that he had not yet decided which PO-Cuomo Pac he hopes to build donors, and the source that works for Fix The City, the largest Super Pac, raising the former governor, said that there was no talk that Carone was joining this along.
On Monday, Kuomo also called in support of donors on the eve of the timing of the funds this week, his representative said.
“This is the last day before the deadline for collecting funds, of course, it is,” said the representative of Kuomo Rich Azzardi about the contact of the former governor, referring to, referring to Campaign financing The feed period, which ended on Monday. The press secretary added that Kuomo also conducted several television interviews and met with voters in Manhattan to start a week.
Meanwhile, Mamdani, a candidate of a candidate from a democratic mayor as a favorite in the November elections, entered the attack on Monday morning, amazing the former governor for reducing $ 65 million from the voucher rental program as the governor, while insisting on the change of Adams will not affect the results of the race.
“Nothing has changed,” said the front-line at the Washington Hight press conference. “Because we are talking not only about who is in the balloon. This is about what is in the electoral ballot. And what we see in this electoral ballot is demonstrated by Andrew Kuomo, is records of broken promises, a record of shame. ”
Mamdani concentrated most of his press conference on Kuomo State financing reduces the program for lease vouchersIt is known as an advantage, he made as a governor in 2011. These reductions prompted the then mayor of Michael Bloomberg to pull the program in the city. The program, which began in 2007, offered subsidies for up to two years to help those who are in the shelters of the homeless to pay for their own apartments.
In his statement, Azzopardi rejected the reduction of 2011 as a “fall of a bucket”, which occurred many years ago at a time when the state was faced with a budget deficit of $ 10 billion. “This financing was replaced and increased many times through other rental assistance programs,” said Azzardi.

Separately, the Kuomo campaign released the press release accusing Mamdani of Lie, telling New York Times at the beginning of this month that he would apologize to the New York police for calling him a racist, but did not publicly follow.
“He must explain to the public why he violated the promise that he gave 18 days ago to apologize for calling the racist New York and a threat to public security,” said Azzardi.
In his statement, Kuomo called Mamdani “33-year-old, dangerous in the inexperienced influence of social networks, which does not fulfill the task of being mayor.”
The Mamdani team responded later on the same day from its own wide side.
“While Zoran Mamdani stood next to his mother, who was involved in a shelter for the homeless as a result of the abbreviations of Andrew Kuomo in favor of the advantage, the disgraced former governor spent his day, hiding behind closed doors,” said Dora Pekek, the press secretary of Milos, ”I would bring him to the loss of the candidate, bring him to the press. -For conference, which became “nonsense.”
