NEW YORK: New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s decision to suspend his fast election bid is unlikely to reduce the candidate of democratic socialist Zohar Mamadani, political analysts said on Monday.

A 33 -year -old member of the Uganda state assembly, Mamadani, has voted five weeks before the election day before his central rival, New York State Governor Andrew Koomo, and President Donald Trump’s permanent attacks on New York with the president’s policies.

Since he scored a surprising disturbing score in June’s primary to become the standard bearer of the Democratic Party in the November 4 general election, Mamdani’s candidates have been on a role, with former Vice President Kamla Harris and New York Governor Kathy Hachul, a party -held party holder, and a party -held party.

Adams confirmed the weekends on Sunday, announcing that he was suspending his free bid for a second term. He decided in June against seeking democratic nomination.

His departure creates that there is a race for two candidates between New York’s politics, Mamadani and Koomo, who is trying to return after the resignation of 2021 as governor among the allegations of sexual harassment. June is running freely after its loss in the Democratic Primary.

“The” Koomo “is far ahead of Komo, and something will have to change the race story, said Basel Samikley, a political analyst and professor of professional studies at Columbia University, so that it may be suggested that Mamadani may be suggested, and it is not yet known. “

Mamadani said on Monday that he was not interested in commenting on what Adams’ departure campaign meant.

He told reporters at a campaign program in Optown Manhattan, “The question of the effects of the election day is being paid a lot of attention, what does that mean for horses race.” “The thing that is lost is that for New York, who is struggling to tolerate the most expensive city in the United States, nothing has changed.”

Prior to Sunday, a university survey received 45 % support, while compared to about 24 % for Koomo. Adams, who withdrew his name from the belt too late, and Republican candidate Kurts Silva trails 9 % and 17 % respectively.

Although no new pool has been made since the end of Adams, a Mark Survey released on September 16 asked potential voters to consider the possibility. It showed that Mamadani would have the support of 46 % potential voters compared to 30 % of Coomo and 18 % for SLIWA. This shows that Adams’ departure will help the former governor with the benefits of Coomo, but is not enough to significantly tighten the lead.

Trump once again attacked Mamadani

Adams’ bid for re -election was suffering from the beginning.

Those selected during the epidemic, its popularity involves itself and its peers in the midst of a permanent drum over corruption charges. He became the first sitting mayor in New York history, accused of federal bribery.

The mayor requested not to be guilty, but Trump’s department of justice quit the case, interfering the mayor’s ability to support the president’s aggressive deportation agenda. Many New Yorkers were angry, who, with a large majority, say they oppose the president’s policies.

On Sunday, Trump welcomed the mayor’s move, saying he focused on anti -voting votes and gave Coomo “a much better opportunity”.

On Monday, Trump then reacted to another attack on Mamadani. In a social media post, he said that Mamadani needs money from me as president to fulfill all his fake communist promises. He won’t get anything from it, so what is the benefit of voting for him? “

Such threats can promote Mamadani without interruption, says Christina Greer, a professor of political science at the University of New York, New York.

“The president misunderstands,” he said. “The more he tries to interfere in the race, the more highlights the fact that we want this kind of representation because there is a strong reaction from Washington DC.”

According to recent data that included the revelations of August, Madani retained its solid edge on the coomo for raising funds during the summer, which, according to recent data that included August revelations, had raised about $ 9 million for the former governor, compared to about $ 15 million.

To ensure, the Comeo campaign can benefit from the departure of Adams if the donation is once again raised from the powerful business interests related to the progressive agenda, which focuses on cheap issues at the expense of wealthy New Yorkrs.

Prior to primary, large donors put millions of dollars in millions of dollars in the Qumo Political Action Committee, which works directly to financing the campaign.

A source familiar with the PAC’s plan said, “We have seen the interest of donors and supporters in the past 24 hours and are working to maximize their resources to ensure that Andrew Comeo is selected in November.”
