Amid escalating calls for his resignation, New York City Mayor Eric Adams attended a church service on February 16, 2025, reiterating his commitment to serve. He expressed determination to fight back against pressures, citing his Christian faith as a source of strength. Adams emphasized that he is not stepping down, despite concerns surrounding his political conduct and a dismissal of his criminal case by the Trump administration. His remarks reflect a defiant stance in a critical moment of his political career, aiming to reassure constituents of his dedication to the city.
I am going nowhere... I'm going to step up. God has fortified me, and no matter what you read in the headlines, I'm going to fight for you.
They danced on my grave when I was indicted. And God said, Eric, rise up. They're dancing on my grave now.
We have a man of God at City Hall who will live out the purpose given to him at every level.
Calls for my resignation are growing, but I assure you, I will not back down.
