Mayor Eric Adams took sharp aim at former Governor Andrew Cuomo during his weekly Q&A with reporters on Tuesday, targeting one of Cuomo’s key mayoral campaign boasts—his management expertise. “You mean the management he did with the nursing homes?” Adams said, alluding to Cuomo’s controversial pandemic directive that prevented nursing homes from refusing patients with COVID-19. He didn’t stop there, adding, “Or probably the management he did with the bail reform, is that what you’re talking about? That caused the ruckus we’re facing? Is that good management?” Driving the point home, Adams contrasted the roles of mayor and governor, stating, “You can’t just hide out in a mansion.” Cuomo’s campaign spokesman, Rich Azzopardi, fired back, defending the former governor’s record. “It is management, Mr. Mayor,” Azzopardi said, pointing to achievements like capping state spending, constructing the Second Avenue subway, and overseeing the redevelopment of LaGuardia Airport. Azzopardi didn’t hold back, taking a swipe at Adams: “Desperate men — particularly one’s acting as an agent of Trump — say desperate things.” The jab referenced the recent decision by Trump’s Justice Department to drop a corruption case against Adams, freeing the mayor to focus on issues like immigration enforcement and crime.
