Eric Adams: I’m Now Running As An Independent

New York City’s NBC affiliate reports:

Fresh off the dissolution of his criminal corruption case, New York City Mayor Eric Adams says he’s back to focusing on working for New Yorkers. He just plans to do it with another party.

The embattled Democrat announced Thursday that he will run instead for mayor as an Independent, leaving Andrew Cuomo, who resigned as governor of New York amid a sexual harassment controversy, the primary contender at the top of the blue ticket. City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams is also running.

The development comes with three months to go until a Democratic primary that is likely to choose the city’s next mayor. Adams faces a large field of challengers and several Democrats who say he’s now too indebted to Trump for New Yorkers to be sure he’ll prioritize their interests. A recent poll shows Cuomo trouncing him.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

Adams’s advisers see running in the general election as something akin to the open primary concept of some states, where voting isn’t limited to people of one party.

The hope among Adams’s strategists is that the general election will bring out centrist Democrats and Republicans who will see him as an option they typically don’t get, since most races in this majority-blue city are decided in the primary.

The voters Adams will target include conservative Democrats, moderate Republicans and the Jewish community, including the Orthodox and Bukharians in Forest Hills, Queens, as well as other ethnic communities, such as the Polish population in Greenpoint.

Yesterday Adams credited Jesus and Kash Patel’s hit list book with the dropping of the case against him.
