He dropped out?
 
Overlapping conversations have been playing out among some of the city’s biggest real estate executives and among allies of Mr. Cuomo, 67, a moderate Democrat who has known Mr. Trump for more than 40 years. Mr. Cuomo is running as a third-party candidate after badly losing June’s Democratic primary to Mr. Mamdani.

Those New Yorkers have been frantically searching for any way to halt the rise of Mr. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman and democratic socialist who they fear will sour the city’s business climate, and have discussed potentially offering the mayor public or private sector jobs to encourage him to drop out.


Oligarchs getting nervous. Good, fuck those assholes.
 
At an unrelated event on Wednesday, Mr. Adams said the question of whether he would take a job in the Trump administration was “hypothetical.” He declined to discuss any “private conversations” he might have had, and said he was constantly fielding inquiries from people looking to hire him at educational institutions, private sector positions and “boards.”

“I have been getting offers for the last year and a half. Would I come and join their corporation?” Mr. Adams said. “So, people are always asking.”
