New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing declining approval ratings, prompting a display of faith during a press briefing as he announced running for re-election as an independent. Emphasizing his trust in God, he wore a T-shirt featuring 'In God We Trust' alongside an American flag. The mayor reflected on personal struggles during federal corruption investigations, framing his faith as pivotal. This use of graphic T-shirts in politics is also seen elsewhere, notably by Democrats responding to President Trump's rhetoric with their own sloganed apparel, highlighting emerging trends in political expression.
Mr. Adams, who announced that he would be running for re-election not as a Democrat but an independent, appeared at a press briefing wearing a T-shirt with the words In God We Trust, printed above an American flag.
Mr. Adams is not the only political figure bringing the graphic T-shirt into formal political spaces. During President Trump's prime-time address in early March, a cluster of Democrats wore slogan T-shirts, providing a cotton-based clap-back to the president's talking points.
