New York City Comptroller Brad Lander called on Mayor Eric Adams to resign, stating, "The hardworking people of New York City deserve a city government and leadership they can trust. Right now, they don't have it." This reflects a growing sentiment among Adams' political opponents following his indictment.
State Sen. Zellnor Myrie expressed that Adams' indictment is "especially painful for so many Black New Yorkers who put our hope and faith in this Mayor," highlighting the trust challenges amid the scandal.
Former City Comptroller Scott Stringer, exploring his own candidacy, suggested that while Adams focuses on proving his innocence, "the rest of us need to focus on the business of the city," indicating a shift of priorities in the political arena.
