(TNND) — New York Mayor Eric Adams said on Sunday that he is dropping out of the New York City Mayor's race.

The announcement, in a video on X, comes after rumors swirled around the Trump administration offering him a job in exchange for dropping his reelection campaign.

“And despite all I have achieved, I know I cannot continue my campaign,” he says in the video.

In the video, he calls out his federal corruption case against him and says he was "wrongfully charged."

Adams did not endorse any of the other candidates in the race.

Polling showed that in a hypothetical one-on-one race between Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo for New York City mayor, Mamdani would still come out on top with 48% of the vote compared to Cuomo capturing 44% of the vote.

“The big ‘if’ is what would happen if both Sliwa and Adams were to drop out of the race and make it a two-person showdown," Siena Director Don Levy said in a statement. "Cuomo would capture the vast majority of both Adams’ and Sliwa’s current support and win a majority of voters over forty-five. Mamdani’s overwhelming 22-point lead would shrink to four points. At present, Cuomo would need both Adams and Sliwa to drop out in order to close the gap.”
