Hizzoner in hiding?
Mayor Eric Adams has yet to venture out to stump for his frenemy Andrew Cuomo — or even cast his vote in the contentious New York City mayoral race that is expected to see a historic turnout.
The sitting mayor, who abandoned his bid to hold onto City Hall back in September, has been noticeably missing from the public limelight on Tuesday when he was supposed to cast his vote in the general election.
The only peep the public has heard from Adams was a statement from his campaign, urging all New Yorkers to get out to the polls.
“I’ve been part of New York’s story for a long time. Even though I’m not running this year, I’m not going anywhere. This city is my home — and like you, I’ll always be here fighting for it,” his spokesperson, Todd Shapiro, said on behalf of the mayor.
“So vote. Not because someone tells you to — but because history shows that when New Yorkers stay home, others decide our future for us.”
Shapiro referred The Post to City Hall as to when he planned to vote. As of Tuesday afternoon, a rep for City Hall had no set time for the mayor to hit the polls.

The absence of the mayor was noticeable after Adams had been out campaign to help Cuomo dethrone Democratic nominee and current frontrunner Zohran Mamdani.

Adams, who tried to run on an independent line for months before acknowledging he was unable to rebound in the polls, recently put his support behind Cuomo in an attempt to stave off the proud socialist from moving into Gracie Mansion.
The endorsement was a sharp departure between Adams and Cuomo, with the mayor often attacking the ex-governor, even calling him a “snake and a liar.”
