Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is leading Mayor Eric Adams and all other candidates by a wide margin in New York City’s June Democratic mayoral primary race, a new poll shows.

She got an early, positive reception from the city’s public advocate, Jumaane Williams, who is first in line to replace the mayor if he were to resign. Williams, a self-described activist elected official, has already backed City Comptroller Brad Lander’s candidacy but offered warm words for Speaker Adams.

Our city deserves a leader that serves its people first and always, not someone focused on themselves and their own political interests.”
