纽约市长埃里克·亚当斯于周日宣布退出连任竞选，他表示竞选活动受到了资金不足和媒体猜测的阻碍。亚当斯在一则视频中表示，尽管取得了一些成就，但由于媒体的持续猜测以及竞选财务委员会扣留数百万美元的决定，他无法筹集到足够资金继续竞选。他的主要竞争对手，民主社会主义者佐兰·马姆达尼目前处于领先地位，并被广泛看好赢得选举。马姆达尼的竞选纲领包括冻结租金和提高富人税收，并对亿万富翁的存在表示质疑。亚当斯在视频中似乎对马姆达尼的政治主张进行了批评。

🗽 纽约市长埃里克·亚当斯已正式退出其连任竞选。他通过一段视频分享了这一决定，并将其归因于竞选资金的短缺以及媒体对其未来动向的持续猜测，这些因素共同削弱了他为一场有竞争力的竞选活动筹集所需资金的能力。

🗳️ 亚当斯的主要竞争对手佐兰·马姆达尼（Zohran Mamdani）作为一名民主社会主义者，在民意调查中占据明显优势，普遍被认为将赢得11月的选举。马姆达尼的竞选主张包括冻结租金和对纽约市的富人增税，他还对亿万富翁的存在表示了质疑。

🗣️ 亚当斯在宣布退选的视频中，似乎也对马姆达尼的政治理念提出了批评，他警告纽约市民要警惕那些声称必须彻底摧毁现有体系才能实现新秩序的政治人物或政治运动。

⚖️ 此次退选使得纽约市市长竞选只剩下三位候选人：前市长安德鲁·科莫（Andrew Cuomo）、佐兰·马姆达尼（Zohran Mamdani）以及共和党活动家柯蒂斯·斯利瓦（Curtis Sliwa）。

Eric Adams has dropped out of New York City's mayoral race.

The incumbent mayor announced his departure in an eight-minute video shared to X on Sunday, saying his campaign was hindered by a lack of funding and media attention.

"Yet, despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my reelection campaign," Adams said. "The constant media speculation about my future and the campaign finance board's decision to withhold millions of dollars have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign."

Factoring into his decision was also likely the sizable polling lead held by his main opponent, Zohran Mamdani, who is running as a Democratic Socialist. Mamdani is widely expected to win in November.

Mamdani has campaigned on freezing rents and raising taxes on the wealthy in New York City, roiling the financial capital of the world. He has also said he doesn't believe billionaires should exist, which was an eyebrow-raising comment for a candidate running for mayor of a city that is home to the world's largest number of billionaires.

In his video message, Adams appeared to take a parting shot a Mamdani.

"New Yorkers should be suspicious of any politician or political movement that claims we must wholesale destroy the systems we created together over generations in order to usher in a new, untested order led by self-styled saviors," he said.

Three candidates now remain in New York City's mayoral race: former Mayor Andrew Cuomo, Mamdani, and Republican activist Curtis Sliwa. Election Day is November 4, but early voting begins on October 25.
