New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced on Sunday that he was suspending his reelection campaign after weeks of vowing he would stay in it despite pressure to withdraw on grounds that remaining in the race would ensure victory for Democrat Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani.

In his video announcement, Adams shared that though he was dropping out of the race that his life in public service was not over:
“Despite all we’ve achieved, I cannot continue my re-election campaign,” Adams said. “The constant media speculation about my future and the campaign finance board’s decision to withhold millions of dollars have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign.”
“Although this is the end of my re-election campaign, it is not the end of my public service. I will continue to fight for this city, as I have for 40 years since the day I joined the NYPD to make our streets safer and our systems fairer,” he said.
Only in America. Only in New York.

Adams’ name will remain an option for voters to select on the ballot. Though some polls have indicated that Adams dropping out could potentially help disgraced former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo close the gap on Mamdani, it remains to be seen how this will all play out on Election Day.

The only question that remains is: What will that “public life” for Adams include? There were unconfirmed rumors that the Trump administration was offering Adams various roles to drop out, but Adams remains vague on what the future holds – if anything – on that front.
There was no point in continuing except to hold out for a better price. What was the price? https://t.co/66lPZD24dg

I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
Editor’s Note: Zohran Mamdani is an avowed Democratic Socialist and has a real chance to become the next mayor of New York City.
