"After days of denial, Mayor Eric Adams seemed to admit Friday that he is entertaining offers for other job opportunities, though he maintained that he continues to campaign robustly for re-election. The admission came as questions continued to swirl around whether Adams would abandon his reelection bid for a plum job opportunity, potentially from Republican President Donald Trump, in a surprise September gambit that could turn the mayoral race on its head."
"In a statement provided by his campaign Friday, Adams insisted I am still running for reelection and that no formal offers have been made. Yet he also appeared to confirm a Thursday evening report from the New York Times that he is seriously considering taking a job with the Trump administration, saying, I will always listen if called to serve our country."
Mayor Eric Adams acknowledged he is entertaining offers for other job opportunities while asserting he continues to campaign for reelection and that no formal offers exist.
