Bronx News: Adams, Cuomo Team Up to Beat Mamdani in Order to 'Save NY'

Once a ‘Snake and a Liar’ to Adams, Cuomo Now Has His Support   Outgoing mayor backs Cuomo, mocks Mamdani as “king of the gentrifiers.” This article originally appeared in The City. By Katie Honan and Samantha Maldonado Bronx Voice  October 25, 2025 BRONX NEWS - Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday endorsed Andrew Cuomo as the city’s next mayor — after just last month trashing his one-time foe as “a snake and a liar.” Outside the Carver Houses public housing complex in Harlem , Adams described the former governor as a “brother.”  “Brothers fight,” Adams told reporters. “When families are attacked, brothers come together.” The new alliance took shape after Adams went after Cuomo early last month while defiantly insisting he would not drop out of his reelection campaign.

BRONX - Onetime Bronxite Samara Joy was a relatively unknown jazz singer before she was awarded with a Grammy win as 2023's Best New Artist at the 65TH Annual Grammy Awards.




Joy beat out a field of newcomers including Anitta, Omar Apollo, JD Beck, Molly Turtle and Tobe.



 

During her acceptance speech, Joy was flabbergasted, telling the recording world's A-list stars, "I am so, oh my gosh, I can't even believe, I've been watching you all my life on TV for so long."



 

Joy continued, "So to be here with you all, born and raised in the Bronx, New York, my family's here. I've been singing all my life... Thank you so much for this honor. All of you are so inspiring to me, so to be here because of who I am, all of you have inspired me because of who you are."



 

Joy captured another Grammy earlier in the evening when her 2022 album "Linger" won Best Jazz Vocal Album.

 

Meanwhile, the Manhattan-based New York Youth Symphony became some of the youngest musicians to win a Grammy. The orchestra, whose members range in age from 12 to 22, took home a Grammy Sunday night for Best Orchestral Performance for their untitled album. The record's producer Judith Sherman also took home a Grammy for Classical Producer of the Year.
