Eric Adams ends campaign for New York City mayor

The incumbent announced his decision Sunday in a post on X.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Sunday he is suspending his campaign for mayor, just weeks away from the closely watched election.

Adams announced his decision in a video on X.

The mayor, running as an independent, resisted calls to drop out previously from opponents of Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, who were concerned he and independent candidate former Gov. Andrew Cuomo would split the vote.

ABC News previously reported that it is too late for Adams's name to be removed from the ballot.
