Additionally, his reputation has suffered due to the circumstances surrounding his indictment, complicating his campaign strategy, which may include running as an independent to bypass a tough primary battle.
Mayor Eric Adams secured a dismissal of his federal corruption indictment, eliminating the threat of trial and prison, but faces a challenging path for re-election.
