The bloated battle for New York's political future

While Mayor Adams says he's running for reelection, his already-crowded field of rivals may be getting bigger — with both former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and political director Bob Hardt weigh in on the mayor's reelection chances, while also discussing the political strengths and weaknesses of the two new quasi-candidates. After that, for the first time in decades, state correction officers have walked off the job. At at least 38 of the state's 42 prisons, correction officers are on a wildcat strike — a walkout not sanctioned by their union. The strike could have significant implications for the future of state prisons and Gov. Kathy Hochul's administration. The "Off Topic" team discusses how these events might shape New York's political landscape.  Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: [email protected]
