Eric Adams eyes independent NYC mayoral run as campaign stalls, support falls: 'He owes a lot of money'
Briefly

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is contemplating an independent run if he loses the Democratic primary due to his current poor polling and mountinglegal issues, including a federal corruption case. Following a strong start to his mayoralty, marked by ambitious promises, Adams has seen his support dwindle amidst scandal and indictments. With a significant amount of debt owed to defense lawyers, questions arise about his future in politics, particularly as he navigates a crowded field of challengers, including former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Adams' political fortunes have drastically changed, going from a confident elected official to facing serious corruption accusations and abysmal polling numbers in the upcoming primary.
The mayor's swagger, which once symbolized hope for New York City, has diminished significantly amid federal investigations and a poorly received election campaign.
