New York City Mayor Eric Adams faces five criminal counts related to allegations of soliciting bribes and seeking illegal campaign contributions, prompting calls for his resignation.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the impact of continuous investigations on governance, stating that "the flood of resignations...are threatening government function" and urging Adams to step down.
City Comptroller Brad Lander highlighted the challenges Adams will face in governing amid serious federal charges, suggesting it may be best for him to resign to allow for effective leadership.
Despite the calls for his resignation, Adams has denied the wrongdoing, claiming that the charges against him are "entirely false" and asserting his commitment to governance.
