Though Mayor Eric Adams won’t appear on the ballot for New York City's Democratic primary, he is committed to voting and supporting his city councilmember. Adams, who opted out of the primary after federal corruption charges were dismissed, intends to run as an independent in November under one of two proposed ballot lines. He has criticized Democratic front-runner Andrew Cuomo and is facing a challenge from Reginald Swiney in his councilmember’s race while considering legal actions regarding election regulations.
"There is no mayoral candidate on there that anyone should be voting for," Adams said last week when asked about his plans for Primary Day.
Adams decided not to run in the primary following the dismissal of his federal corruption charges in April.
Adams has attacked Democratic front-runner and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo over his policies, including his management of the pandemic and his passage of the state's bail reform laws.
Cuomo has shied away from typical retail politics, avoiding forums, unscripted appearances and the press.
