Eric Adams and top White House officials are in talks over a potential job in President Trump’s administration — as pressure mounts for mayoral candidates to drop out and clear the lane for the strongest challenger against socialist Zohran Mamdani, The Post has learned.

The conversations about a potential plum gig for Adams have reached high-level Trump officials, but it’s unclear if it has reached the president’s desk, sources said.

“I think Adams would be able to craft a position and a portfolio that’s to his liking,” a source close to Trump’s administration said.

Another source in mayor’s orbit confirmed his team has pushed him to take the federal golden parachute — but Adams hasn’t seemingly fully bought in.

I’m not an expert on NYC politics but still makes no sense to me to run Cuomo as the establishment candidate. (I don’t know what the polls show if Adams were the candidate and Cuomo dropped out however.)
 

New poll shows Cuomo beating Mamdani in NYC mayor's race if all other candidates drop out​


A new poll shows what could happen if the New York City mayor's race was a head-to-head matchup between former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani.

According to the poll by Tulchin Research, if all candidates remain in the race, Mamdani still has the lead with 42%, followed by Cuomo with 26%, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa with 17%, incumbent Mayor Eric Adams with 9% and independent candidate Jim Walden with 3%.

The tantalizing question is, what would happen if Adams, Sliwa and Walden dropped out, leaving Cuomo and Mamdani in a two-person race?

The poll says if they went at it mano a mano, Cuomo would beat Mamdani, 52% to 41%.

The poll could help coalesce the various groups who are against Mamdani and get them to join forces for a united push. However, so far, Walden is the only one who has said he would be willing to get out of the race in favor of someone who could beat Mamdani.
