Eric Adams has had it with the Democrats…
According to a New York Post report and a video released by NYC Mayor Eric Adams, the Big Apple boss will not seek re-election as a Democrat; he’s going independent.
Adams dropped the bombshell news in a campaign video announcement — just one day after a federal judge killed his corruption case for good.
“More than 25,000 New Yorkers signed my Democratic primary petition, but the dismissal of the bogus case against me dragged on too long, making it impossible to mount a primary campaign while these false accusations were held over me,” Adams said.
“But I’m not a quitter. I’m a New Yorker,” he continued. “And that is why today, although I am still a Democrat, I am announcing that I will forgo the Democratic primary for mayor and appeal directly to all New Yorkers as an independent candidate in the general election.”
“I firmly believe that this city is better served by truly independent leadership, not leaders pulled at by the extremists on the far left or the far right, but instead those rooted in the common middle, the place where the vast majority of New Yorkers are firmly planted,” Adams said.
