Wow. This is Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi's explanation for Cuomo's comments on Sid Rosenberg's show this morning re: 9/11 —

From me:

"He was referring to Mamdani's close friend Hasan Piker, who said 'America deserved 9/11,' a statement 9/11 families called on Zohran Mamdani to denounce but he refused for months. This is not new -- the Governor held a press conference along with 9/11 families to denounce Mamdani's association with and refusal to denounce Piker's hateful comments. The overall topic of the conversation was that Mamdani is deeply unqualified and unprepared to be Mayor of the Greatest City on earth, which every New Yorker saw last night.”

Mayor Adams says that once he leaves office he plans to "go back to school" and get a doctorate. He says he also plans to write a book and work on "a documentary."

He says the job offers he's fielding at least in part relate to "things in other countries."

Likely voters were asked, regardless of how they intend to vote, who they think has views closest to their own on the Israel - Hamas conflict. Forty-one percent say Mamdani, 26 percent say Cuomo, and 13 percent say Sliwa, with 20 percent not offering an opinion.
