He's hinted at a third party run in the general. I dunno, maybe he thinks denying reality and holding on the whole way to an inevitable loss would make him look weak for that.

He's probably looking to his rich donors to see if they are going to pressure Eric Adams to drop out of running as an independent as well.

If they are both running as independent then the low information voters will split their votes which will help Mamdani win.

The have to do some research to see how they can ratfuck the mayoral election now that the primary is done.

Oh, derp, primary! Makes sense, I didn’t connect that the mayor of NYC was a partisan position

I thought mayor was a partisan position in every US city. If fact, in the US every elected position is effectively a partisan position, even the rare ones that officially aren't.
