Federal Judge Dale Ho's recent ruling has introduced significant uncertainty into the mayoral race, as he postponed a decision on whether to allow a trial against Mayor Eric Adams to proceed, despite federal prosecutors wishing to drop the charges. Ho appointed prominent lawyer Paul Clement to advocate for continuing the case, with deadlines for submissions set for early March. If the trial moves forward, it could disrupt the critical timeline leading up to the Democratic primary, while petitioning for ballot candidacy begins shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, campaign funding issues further complicate the political landscape.
