New York City Mayor Eric Adams (I) on Sunday, said He would Abandon His Campaign for a Second Term, Upending the Race to Lead the Nation’s Largest City, just Five Weeks before Election Day.
In a Video Message posted to Social Media, the Mayor Conceded that Despite His Best Efforts, He could Not see a path to Re-Election.
He Blamed “continued media speculation about my departure” and a Decision by the City’s Campaign Finance Board, to Deny Him Public-Matching-Funds, for Throttling His Campaign.
Adams did Not Endorse One of His Rivals. But He Offered Voters what Appeared to be a Veiled Warning about Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D), the Nominee and Front-Runner, and what He Characterized as Growing Extremism in Politics.
Without Naming Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist, the Mayor Warned that “Insidious Forces” were Pushing “Divisive Agendas” in City Politics. He Claimed “our children are being radicalized to hate our city and our country.”
“Major change is welcome and necessary,” He said. “But beware of those who claim the answer is to destroy the very system we built together over generations.”
Another Candidate, Jim Walden (Integrity), Dropped-Out, but missed the Deadline, and will be on the Ballot.
