As every media outlet reported earlier today... Mayor Adams announced that he is ending his re-election campaign. (See his 9-minute video below.)
A historical perspective, per Gothamist:
Adams, who made history as the first New York City mayor of the modern era to be criminally indicted, now becomes the first sitting mayor to not seek re-election since 1913 without facing a term limit. His exit marks a spectacular downfall for someone who just three years ago declared himself the new face of the Democratic Party.
The race will now feature Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.
One EVG Grieve emailed us, writing: "Guess we're really not getting that mobile police unit on 14th Street." (Background here and here.)
And the announcement...
Only in America. Only in New York.

ReplyDeleteI never thought he was working for the people. Even though crime was down and housing up... the city seemed dirty and noisy and unsettled... and he didn't seem to care about it. He was over his head. He was an amateur and his admin. was an amateur hour. And he didn't realize it.... or didn't know how to get out of it... or didn't really care. A waste of 4 years.
