NYC Mayor Eric Adams says he won’t quit the race and is the only one who can beat Mamdani
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has said again that he won’t end his reelection campaign. During a hastily convened news conference Friday, Adams stressed that he will remain in the race as reports swirl that he’s been approached about possibly taking a job in the Trump administration. He told reporters “I am running for reelection” and vowed to defeat the Democratic nominee, Zohran Mamdani. The mayor has spent the week fending off news reports that intermediaries for President Donald Trump have contacted people in his orbit to talk about whether he would consider abandoning his campaign to take a federal job.
