New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced he will not seek the Democratic nomination for reelection, opting instead to run as an independent candidate. This decision follows the dismissal of a corruption case against him, which had cast doubt on his campaign. In a video message, Adams stated that while over 25,000 city residents supported his petitions, the case's complexities hindered his ability to campaign effectively for the primary. He affirmed his Democratic identity while advocating for independent leadership that resonates with the majority of New Yorkers.
I firmly believe that this city is better served by truly independent leadership, not leaders pulled at by the extremists on the far left or the far right.
I know that the accusations leveled against me may have shaken your confidence in me and that you may rightly have questions about my conduct.
