Former Gov. David Paterson endorsing Eric Adams for reelection. He previously supported Andrew Cuomo.
Former Gov. David Paterson is expected to formally endorse Mayor Eric Adams for re-election Wednesday. He'll make the announcement at 1 p.m. on the steps of City Hall. Paterson had supported former Gov. Andrew Cuomo during the primary, calling him the best choice. After Mamdani won the primary, Paterson called on independents to unify against the Democratic socialist. To do that, he suggested either Adams or Cuomo should drop their independent campaign and support the other, lest they risk handing the election to Mamdani. It comes as a new Siena poll shows Democrat candidate Zohran Mamdani well ahead in the race. The poll, which was released Tuesday, shows Mamdani ahead with 44% support in the general election. The same poll shows Cuomo is in second place with 25% support, Republican Curtis Sliwa in third with 12%, and Adams in fourth place, with just 7% support in the poll. Adams seemed to shrug off his low polling numbers in an exclusive interview with CBS News New York's Ali Bauman Tuesday. "This is going to be the most unique mayoral race in the history of this city," Adams said. "And a lot of first-time voters are going to come out. That's gonna change this dynamic." Wednesday, Mamdani is continuing his five borough tour. Sliwa was campaigning in the subway system. Cuomo had no public events scheduled.

Hyde Park shooting leaves 2 people wounded, one detained by Boston Police
Boston Police shut down a street in Hyde Park late Wednesday morning after two people were shot. One of them was critically wounded. Another person has been detained by police. Officers were called to Farraday Street just after 10 a.m. for a report of a person shot. But when they arrived, they found two people with "multiple gunshot wounds," according to a police spokesperson. "At least one victim sustained injuries believed to be life-threatening. Officers rendered aid to both victims on scene until the arrival of Boston EMS. The victims were then transported to local hospitals for further treatment," police said in a statement. "Due to the severity of the injuries, Boston Police Homicide Detectives responded and are leading the investigation. At this time, a person believed to be involved in the incident has been detained. The investigation remains active and ongoing." Investigators have not released any information about the victims. Police at the scene were very focused on a car that was parked in the street with its front end nearly on the sidewalk. Officers left more than a dozen evidence markers in and around the car. It's not clear yet if the shooting happened inside or outside the vehicle. A woman later told WBZ-TV the car belongs to her cousin and she has not been able to reach her. Neighbors told WBZ they didn't see or hear anything unusual this morning. No other information is available at this point in the investigation.
