Mayor Eric Adams canceled his participation in an upcoming political forum hosted by a major NYC union, citing his lawyer's advice amid ongoing legal concerns related to a federal court case. He voiced frustration about rival candidates who avoid public forums, stressing the importance of full participation in political discussions. The union, District Council 37, has historically supported Adams, having endorsed him in the previous mayoral race, highlighting the critical role of alliances in local politics amidst Adams' legal challenges and the approaching elections.
Mr. Adams withdrew at the last minute from the forum, telling reporters on Wednesday afternoon that his defense lawyer recommended he skip such events until his next federal court case hearing.
No candidate should be able to stay on the sideline and just send out innuendo. Every candidate should be present and accountable in these discussions.
