A doom-and-gloom msg. Lack of a GOTV operation. A cloistered candidate driving around NYC in a Dodge Charger, ducking public appearances. No contrition for past scandals. @NickReisman and I explore how @andrewcuomo lost what appeared to be a slam dunk: politico.com/news/2025/06/2…
New! Ingrid Lewis-Martin, the mayor's indicted ex-adviser, is playing an active role in the mayor’s re-election bid. She organized volunteers on a virtual campaign meeting, instructing them on how they could canvas and phone bank for the mayor nydailynews.com/2025/06/27/ind…

For posterity here’s that @NickReisman and @joeanuta story showing @ZohranKMamdani leading @andrewcuomo by 4 points, a poll and story that were derided by Team Cuomo. Turned out it actually underestimated Mamdani’s lead. politico.com/news/2025/06/1…
First poll that showed Zohran ahead was reported by Politico. It was the only poll that said that until the day before the election.

The idea that @C_Sommerfeldt should wait to be called on at @NYCMayor’s briefings is absurd. The mayor’s team hadn’t done so for months. It was clear they never would. And Chris does not interrupt other reporters. Let him ask his Qs like the rest of us nytimes.com/2025/06/17/nyr…
Over the weekend, Mayor Adams gave an hour-plus interview at Gracie Mansion, the mayoral residence, to Sneako, a streamer known for making antisemitic remarks. On Tuesday, he banned a reporter from City Hall news conferences for asking a question out of turn.
We hand-delivered this to the Mayor's staff moments ago. Chris was doing his job. The only disrespect was coming from the podium.
We demand @NYCMayor reinstate our member, @NYDNUnion reporter @C_Sommerfeldt, to the Mayor’s weekly off-topic briefings. This is an attack on the free press - it is unacceptable to ban reporters for doing their jobs.
