William FarringtonStringer has $7.4 million in his campaign war chest  ensuring that hell be able to pay for ads, mailers and staff through the primary as he battles to stay in the race. Ive received a lot of support on campaign stops over the last two days, and Im going to be campaigning in every neighborhood, in every borough for the next two months. The winner of the votes first round, Eric Adams, saw reporters investigate his donors and peer into his refrigerator. The New York mayors race received rich and often ambitious coverage, as good and varied as Ive seen at least since 2001, often from newer outlets like Politico and The City. Stringers odds of becoming the citys next mayor, as implied by prediction-market PredictIt, were around 5% as of Saturday morning.
Advertisers donated so much that essentially he was buying votes.
