New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced his intention to run for reelection as an independent following the dismissal of charges that raised concerns about his integrity. Critics question the motivation behind his decision, pointing out that he is unlikely to win due to his moderate stance and lack of support from Democratic progressives. Many believe Adams should withdraw from the race entirely, while others feel he represents a failed agenda that does not resonate with New Yorkers. The move to independent is seen as a desperate attempt in light of dwindling approval and competition from more established candidates.
"A judge dropped the charges against Mayor Adams, who is clearly corrupt. Once again, a politician walks away unscathed and it's the taxpayers who suffer."
"If he were smart, he'd withdraw from the race and work on restoring some shred of respect. Adams ran his game and failed. He's lucky he got as far as he did."
"Slice it however you like - Adams is still a woke liberal. You can put whipped cream on an onion, but it's still an onion."
"Adams may have dodged criminal charges, but his reelection chances remain slim. He's too moderate for New York City progressives, and he lacks the funding and machine backing of his opponents."
