Mayor Eric Adams has not dismissed the idea of running as an independent candidate in the 2025 New York City mayoral election if he loses the Democratic primary on June 24. This comes amid a crowded field of Democratic challengers. He has already hinted at a possible concurrent campaign for both Democratic and Republican nominations. Adams cautioned voters about choosing left-leaning opponents, asserting that they might regret it. A successful independent run would echo the historical precedent set by John Lindsay in 1969.
"When I'm ready to roll out my official re-announcement and my plan, I will do so," Adams stated during a City Hall press conference, implying his potential candidacy.
If he loses the Democratic nomination this June, Mayor Eric Adams may try to run as an independent, a move last successfully executed by Mayor John Lindsay in 1969.
Adams warned voters, 'New Yorkers, be careful what you ask for,' suggesting they might regret choosing his more left-leaning opponents.
Looking ahead, Adams stated, 'I know how well we have done, and I know how well we are going to continue to do for the next five years.'
