One thing we still don't know about the New York City mayoral race, will Zeran Mamdani be running against only Eric Adams or more than Eric Adams? Conservative activist and podcast host

Charlie Kirk is the latest prominent person on the right to call on Curtis Slewa to drop his

Republican nomination to give Mayor Adams that line and a better chance of winning because it

would be one-on-one. And it's still uncertain whether Andrew Cuomo will campaign on his independent line.

So the main event, as far as we know, is Mamdani versus Adams.

Adams versus Momdani will still see if Cuomo is in it or if Slewa is in it.

And even as we speak, I see that a news conference is underway,

led by former Democratic governor, David Patterson, aimed at making it a one-on-one race

between Mamdani and someone will bring you details when they come in. I don't know if he's

going to call on Cuomo to drop out or a slewer to drop out or both,

but Adams, as the incumbent mayor, certainly does not seem to be heading to the exits himself,

that much we can say. And Adams is running on his record, making the case that through all the noise about all kinds of things in the press, he has been a very successful mayor on the merits.

That's his case for reelection. Here is the mayor last week after he and city council came to

pass a budget for the fiscal year that began July 1st. It is definitely an election year budget for

the mayor and for council members who are also up for

re-election if they're not term limited out council passed it unanimously that doesn't happen often

including some marquee programs that they could announce as the mayor in this clip does and we told

you this year we will deliver the best budget ever we was clear on that for working class people of this city.

That includes investing in cultural organizations and libraries,

but it also includes historic investments and universal after school.

Universal after school.
