Mayor Eric Adams has yet to venture out to stump for his frenemy Andrew Cuomo<\/a> \u2014 or even cast his vote in the contentious New York City mayoral race that is expected to see a historic turnout.<\/p>\n The sitting mayor, who abandoned his bid to hold onto City Hall back in September, has been noticeably missing from the public limelight on Tuesday when he was supposed to cast his vote in the general election.<\/p>\n Sitting Mayor Eric Adams (left) was a no-show at the polls as of Tuesday afternoon. Getty Images<\/p>\n The only peep the public has heard from Adams was a statement from his campaign, urging all New Yorkers to get out to the polls<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been part of New York\u2019s story for a long time. Even though I\u2019m not running this year, I\u2019m not going anywhere. This city is my home \u2014 and like you, I\u2019ll always be here fighting for it,\u201d his spokesperson, Todd Shapiro, said on behalf of the mayor.<\/p>\n People stand in line at a polling site during the New York City mayoral election, at the High School of Art and Design in the Manhattan borough of New York City, U.S., November 4, 2025.
