Incumbent New York City Mayor Eric Adams has dropped his re-election bid, but he’s now announced he wants to see former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent, succeed him. WAMC’s Andrew Waite and Jimmy Vielkind, of the New York Public News Network, broke down the endorsement, as well as some of the week's other big political stories.

Andrew Waite has worked as The Daily Gazette’s featured news columnist, an editor at Alaska Airlines magazine, and in community newspapers in Montana and Alaska. He is a graduate of Albany High School and Boston University’s journalism school, and he returned to the Capital Region with his wife, daughter and son in 2021.
