Mayor Eric Adams might experience a political rebound by seeking re-election as an independent after his corruption case was dismissed. Insiders suggest this strategy could allow him to overtake the frontrunners in the Democratic primary, though some analysts remain skeptical about his chances, characterizing his situation as precarious. While Adams aims to refocus on his campaign, practical challenges persist with limited campaigning and fundraising, making his path to the ballot uncertain as he competes against notable candidates like Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani.
Mayor Eric Adams could see a "Lazarus"-like political resurrection now that he's free from his criminal case, especially if he runs for re-election as an independent.
"If he can raise the money and move up in the polls, it will send the message that he's Lazarus - and coming back a lot faster than Lazarus did," said former Governor David Paterson.
