NEW YORK (WABC) -- The election for New York City mayor is less than two months away and the candidates are working hard to get their message out to voters as the clock ticks closer to Election Day.
Frontrunner and Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa are making campaign appearances and headlines regularly as November 4 nears.
Check back for daily live updates on the candidates in the race for New York City mayor.
Mayor Eric Adams got a few more endorsements on Saturday, but the question still remains: will he stay in the race?
Adams was in Brooklyn to receive the endorsements of the organization representing the city's Black firefighters and police officers.
This will add to a list of endorsements from virtually all of the uniformed services unions that he already had.
President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed Curtis Sliwa - his own party's New York City mayoral candidate - as "not exactly prime time" and even disparaged his affinity for cats, as pressure mounts for Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani 's rivals to drop out of the race.
Trump has warned that Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, will likely cruise to victory over Sliwa, Mayor Eric Adams and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Nov. 4 unless two of those candidates dropped out. The New York-born Republican thinks Cuomo could have a chance in a one-on-one race.
On a Friday appearance on Fox & Friends, he threw cold water on Sliwa's mayoral hopes, even taking shot at the red beret-wearing candidate's vow to fill the official residence of the New York City mayor with rescue cats if he does win.
"I'm a Republican, but Curtis is not exactly prime time," Trump said bluntly.
"He wants cats to be in Gracie Mansion," the president added. "We don't need thousands of cats."

Community advocate Tony Herbert no longer works for the mayor's administration after calling Charlie Kirk's killing "karma" in a social media post.
Herbert, a friend to Mayor Eric Adams, was already on leave from his position as a community liaison when he was fired.
A spokesperson for the mayor said:
"We unequivocally denounce these remarks, which in no way reflect the values of the Adams administration. As Mayor Adams said yesterday, political violence has no place in our city or in our nation, and it's time we all turn down the temperature and stand united against hate. Charlie Kirk was a passionate young man, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this trying time."
Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams have won support from the same coalition of voters in their bids to lead New York City, setting them on a collision course that could help Zohran Mamdani in his bid to become the next mayor, an Associated Press analysis of recent election results found.
Mamdani, a state Assembly member, won the Democratic nomination for mayor in June, backed by a new coalition of voters. Cuomo, the former New York governor, and Adams, the incumbent mayor, are running as independents in the Nov. 4 election. Republican Curtis Sliwa is running for the second time, after winning just over one-quarter of the vote in the 2021 general election.
To understand the coalitions these candidates have built, The Associated Press examined precinct-level results from the last two Democratic mayoral primaries.
