President Trump should stay out of the New York City mayoral race, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Friday, responding to reports White House advisers are weighing a possible job offer to get Eric Adams to drop his re-election bid.

The deal, which could involve an ambassadorship, according to sources, would give the mayor an opportunity to ditch his seemingly doomed campaign, narrowing the field to bolster ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s chances of topping Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani.

“Contrary to what the president thinks, he’s not a king, he’s not a kingmaker, and he should not be anointing the next mayor of New York City,” Hochul told reporters after an unrelated announcement on Long Island.
