New York City's Mayor Eric Adams is facing increasing pressure to resign or be removed from office amid dropped corruption charges by the Justice Department. Governor Kathy Hochul indicated she would evaluate whether to invoke her authority to remove Adams, marking an unprecedented action in state history. If pursued, Adams would have a chance to defend himself, and depending on the outcome, could either return to office or be permanently removed. This situation is unique as no sitting NYC mayor has faced removal proceedings before.
Governor Kathy Hochul stated, "If Eric Adams does not resign amid these growing concerns, I will have to weigh the option to remove him from office."
The Justice Department's abrupt decision to drop corruption charges against Adams has raised alarm, prompting multiple calls for his resignation from within Democratic circles.
