Patterson last month urged New York’s business and civic communities to coalesce behind either Adams or Cuomo in order to optimize the chances of beating Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran

The 55th governor of New York, who served from 2008 to 2010, previously endorsed his successor in Albany, Andrew Cuomo, during his first shot at a political comeback tour during the Democratic primary for mayor.

Paterson said Cuomo was “not as present” as he should have been during the primary and that Adams was now his choice.
