Michael Bloomberg endorses Andrew Cuomo in NYC mayor's race
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayor's race Tuesday. "In sizing up the field in the race for mayor, there is one candidate whose management experience and government know-how stand above the others: Andrew Cuomo," Bloomberg said in a statement. Bloomberg acknowledged his own previous difficulties working with Cuomo, when Cuomo was governor. During 12 years in office, Bloomberg worked with four different governors. "But I also know his strengths as a leader and manager. Of all the candidates, Andrew has the skills our city needs to lead us forward." Check back soon for more on this developing story.

Seven Weeks and Counting: The N.Y.C. Mayoral Primary Is Heating Up
This is The Sprint for City Hall, a limited-run series on the critical Democratic primary race for mayor. In seven weeks, New Yorkers will vote for the Democratic nominee for mayor. We're not big on public predictions, but you can bet on one thing: The incumbent, Mayor Eric Adams, will not win the primary. He is running as an independent in November and will not be on the June 24 ballot. (More on that in a bit.) That still leaves 11 Democrats in the primary race, and a mountain of policy papers, endorsements, retail politicking and, eventually, two debates, to digest. That's what we're here for. I'm Dean Chang, and I oversee a fantastic team of reporters covering the race. Each Tuesday through Primary Day, they'll be sharing a mix of news, observations, trends and campaign ephemera that might otherwise be overlooked. We'll start with a quick overview, move to some news, and get to Fran Lebowitz's ranked choices a bit further down. No surprise: She has thoughts.
