The New York City mayoral race is heating up as Mayor Eric Adams fired back at rivals Andrew Cuomo and Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani over the weekend.

Adams addressed constituents and the media at campaign events, responding directly to criticism leveled by both challengers. The exchanges highlight growing tensions in what is shaping up to be a combative race for City Hall.

Mike Marza provided an update on the latest campaign developments, while Eyewitness News reporter N.J. Burkett sat down with Mayor Adams for a one-on-one interview. Adams defended his record on crime reduction, housing, and economic development, while dismissing attacks from Cuomo and Mamdani as “political noise.”

With the primary season approaching, the mayoral contest is drawing increasing attention as candidates sharpen their messages and work to win over voters across the five boroughs.
