It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC. Good morning and happy Monday, everybody.

Well, it happened, and you've probably heard it by now. Mayor Adams announced yesterday afternoon

that he is dropping

his bid for re-election. So the plot thickens, right, with only two candidates now running against

Democratic nominees around Mamdani. The presumption has been that Adams, along with Republican

Curtis Lewa and third-party candidate Andrew Cuomo, who lost the primary to MomDani.

We're all splitting the voters Momdani doesn't have.

Later this hour, we'll do a dedicated segment on Adams and the new politics of the mayoral race

with the really, really, really good reporter Katie Honan from the news organization, The City.

We'll also get some reaction now from our first two guests who are really here for something else.

Democratic State Senator Jabari Bristport and Republican Assembly member, Alec Brock Krasny,

are really here today for our installment today of our 30 issues and 30 days election series. Today, it's

issue six on day six should New York raise corporate taxes and personal taxes, the personal

taxes on incomes over a million dollars. They will debate that Zeran Mamdani proposal.

But we'll get their thoughts on Adams dropping out first in a little more detail.

Our guests are Democratic State Senator Jabari-Brisport, whose district includes,

I hope I have the neighborhood's right, all or parts of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Clinton Hill, Fort Green, Ocean Hill, Crown Heights, Prospect Heights,

downtown Brooklyn, Bushwick, and Brownsville, and Republican Assemblyman, Alec Brook

Krasny, whose district includes all or parts of Bay Ridge, Coney Island, Seagate, Bath Beach,

Brighton Beach, Dike Heights, and Gravesend, Assemblyman Brooke Krasny, Senator Brissport, I hope I got all the neighborhoods right.

Correct me if I didn't.

And thanks very much for engaging in our 30 issues and 30-day series.
