Mayor Adams leaning toward endorsing Cuomo alongside key faith leaders: sources
Mayor Adams is leaning toward endorsing Andrew Cuomo in the race for City Hall — but the incumbent doesn’t want to make any such announcement alone, instead weighing doing so alongside a group of supportive faith leaders, the Daily News has learned.
Brooklyn Rev. Conrad Tillard, a close ally to Adams who was a paid consultant on his since-suspended reelection campaign, disclosed the mayor’s wishes during a Zoom call Tuesday with dozens of other clergy members, according to multiple sources on the call.
Tillard told participants Adams had expressed he’d want to roll out any Cuomo endorsement in a public setting together with a contingent of faith leaders who, like Tillard, were Adams supporters before he dropped out of the race last month, the sources said.
On Wednesday, Tillard confirmed the call featured “diehard supporters of the mayor” who’d be willing to line up with him to endorse Cuomo if he wants them to.
