Eric Adams, asked about Homan's comments that he'd "flood the zone" with ICE agents in NYC, says "I welcome it" if he's going after dangerous people like the person who shot the customs officer. But if they're coming after "every day folks"? "I don't think we should do that."
this is obviously a joke but the funny thing about it is actually that Cuomo only moved into the city to run for mayor (strangely not mentioned in article) & will almost certainly not have his main residence in the five boroughs if he’s not victorious in November
Andrew Cuomo in the Hamptons: “We either win or even I will move to Florida. God forbid!” nypost.com/2025/07/19/us-…
Zohran’s background—which opponents tried to make liability for him—in fact made him uniquely well-positioned to authentically & effectively connect w/ voters in a city where polls show about 60% think things are headed in the wrong direction & affordability is the top issue.
2/ -(29 mins) Outdated assumptions about D primary voters & campaign tactics -(38:40) Mamdani's 'universal message' -(42:10) "The Medium is the Message - Kind Of" -(45:45) Mamdani's 'downward mobility' appeal -(50:42) @nycDSA's big win...
Rep. Pat Ryan of the Hudson Valley had a different take. "Andrew Cuomo should go away and be nowhere near a position of any public trust ever again," he said.
In Kingston, Gov. Hochul was asked about former Gov. Cuomo reentering the NYC mayor's race. "I will not wade into that. Everybody has the right to run any race they choose to, and we'll just see how it all plays out." Will she be endorsing in the race? "I'll think about it."

Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was asked about his thoughts on the slogan "globalize the intifada" (which he doesn't use) and his position on Palestine. I transcribed his answers in full. Full interview here: ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…
Cuomo to @freedlander: "Mamdani is the odd-on favorite to be the winner.” nymag.com/intelligencer/…
