Andrew Cuomo finally made it official: he’s running for mayor. The former governor jumped into the race and instantly became the frontrunner. A Quinnipiac poll found him with a double-digit lead over his closest rival – incumbent Eric Adams. Another new entrant, however, Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, could shake things up a bit. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan discuss the very crowded race.
After that, New York’s sitting mayor, Eric Adams, was in Washington D.C. this week, testifying before the House on sanctuary city policies. His deal with the Justice Department also got scrutiny — and it came from fellow Democrats. Political director Bob Hardt joins the "Off topic" team to weigh in on Adams’ Capitol Hill grilling.
