New York City Mayor Eric Adams, after a bitter public split with former Governor Andrew Cuomo, announced Thursday that he will endorse Cuomo in the upcoming mayoral election. This move marks a full reconciliation between Adams and Cuomo, who just weeks ago were trading harsh insults as Adams dropped out of the race. Adams made clear his endorsement is a strategic effort to block Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic socialist nominee. Sitting courtside at the Knicks season opener alongside Cuomo, Adams pledged to campaign in neighborhoods where Cuomo is strong, aiming to mobilize “black and brown communities” disproportionately hurt by gentrification and economic pressures. “I think it is imperative to really wake up the black and brown communities,” Adams said, emphasizing the rising rents and displacement they face. His endorsement underscores the moderate establishment’s alarm over Mamdani’s hard-left platform, which includes defunding police units and expansive social reforms that Adams views as radical. Adams and Cuomo share overlapping bases — notably black voters and ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities — and a pro-police, pro-business stance that contrasts sharply with Mamdani’s. Cuomo has already benefited from Adams’ exit, climbing 10 points in the polls, but Mamdani still holds a substantial lead citywide. The new AARP/Gotham poll shows Mamdani with 43.2% support to Cuomo’s 28.9% and Republican Curtis Sliwa’s 19.4%. However, the race tightens considerably among older voters — the most reliable voting bloc — many of whom remain undecided. A striking feature of this race is the divide between native and foreign-born New Yorkers. Mamdani enjoys overwhelming support among foreign-born voters, holding 62% in recent Patriot Polling surveys, compared to Cuomo’s 24%. Among native-born New Yorkers, Cuomo leads with 40%, while Mamdani trails at 31%. This split highlights the growing political clout of immigrant communities in New York City and their alignment with Mamdani’s democratic socialist message. Meanwhile, Cuomo’s strength among native-born voters and older demographics signals a city divided by age, origin, and ideology. With early voting starting imminently and nearly half of voters 50 and older still undecided, the race remains open for Cuomo to charge into the lead.

The U.S. military blew up another suspected drug boat in the Eastern Pacific on Wednesday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth revealed. Hegseth shared a dramatic video of “yet another lethal kinetic strike” on X. Three “narco-terrorists” aboard the vessel were killed, according to the Secretary of War. It’s the ninth such U.S. strike on a suspected drug smuggling vessel said to be bound for the U.S. in recent months. And the effort is expected to continue. “These strikes will continue, day after day. These are not simply drug runners—these are narco-terrorists bringing death and destruction to our cities. These DTOs [Drug Trafficking Organizations] are the ‘Al Qaeda’ of our hemisphere and will not escape justice. We will find them and kill them, until the threat to the American people is extinguished.” Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out yet another lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO). Yet again, the now-deceased terrorists were engaged in narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.

Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro has called the strikes “a military attack on civilians who were not at war and were not militarily threatening any country,” while accusing the Trump administration of “seeking a regime change” in the Latin American country. The U.S. has authorized covert CIA operations in Venezuela against the country’s socialist dictator, while tagging him as complicit in the drug trade. “We have a lot of drugs coming in from Venezuela, and a lot of the Venezuelan drugs come through the sea, so you get to see that, but we’re gonna stop them by land also,” President Donald Trump told reporters on Thursday. “I think Venezuela’s feeling heat, but I think a lot of other countries are feeling heat too. We’re not going to let this country, our country, be ruined because other people want to drop their worst. They have given us their worst, they’ve loaded up our country with prisoners,” the president added. Colombian President Gustavo Petro has also sparred with Trump over the counternarcotics operations, telling Univision Monday that it may be necessary to “get rid of” the U.S. president. “Humanity has a first offramp, it is to choose to change Trump in various ways,” Petro told Univision’s Daniel Coronell. “The easiest way may be through Trump himself. If not, get rid of Trump,” he said while snapping his fingers. But Trump is only doubling down. “He’s a thug and bad guy. He’s a guy that is making a lot of drugs,” Trump told The Daily Wire’s White House Correspondent, Mary Margaret Olohan Wednesday. “He better watch it or we’ll take very serious action against him and his country,” he added.
