Former Democrat Mayor Eric Adams announced he will withdraw from the Democratic primary and run for reelection as an independent, claiming voters want independent leadership over partisan politics. This decision follows the dismissal of federal bribery charges against him. Adams emphasized that true representation comes from leaders rooted in the middle ground, appealing to the majority of New Yorkers. Despite his shift, polls indicate he does not have a clear path as an independent, facing competition from figures like Andrew Cuomo and challenges from other independent candidates like Jim Walden.
I firmly believe that this city is better served by truly independent leadership, not leaders pulled at by the extremists at the far left or the far right.
Make no mistake: Eric Adams decided to follow in my footsteps out of desperation, not principle.
