Mayor Eric Adams has announced a reduced public schedule this week to accommodate doctors' appointments due to unspecified health issues. This decision comes as he prepares for his trial on federal corruption charges and seeks re-election. Typically known for his rigorous public engagements, the mayor's shift raises concerns regarding his health and capacity to engage in the upcoming election, where he faces five Democratic challengers ahead of the primary in June. His office requested privacy while not disclosing specific health details, marking a notable change in Adams' usually busy routine.
The announcement came as Adams is gearing up for his trial on federal corruption charges and for his campaign for a second term.
The mayor's office made an unusual announcement on Sunday that Adams wasn't feeling well and that he would have a limited public schedule this week.
His spokesman said on social media that the mayor had not been feeling his best lately.
Adams, 64, held his daily meeting with senior administration officials on Monday morning but was not expected to conduct his weekly news conference today.
