In a recent press conference, Mayor Eric Adams claimed that City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams has opposed his initiatives to position herself for a mayoral candidacy. He suggested her conflicts with his administration over issues like funding cuts and housing programs reveal her hidden motives. In response, Adrienne Adams' team argued that her ambitions emerged only after the controversy surrounding the mayor's alleged corruption links, questioning his credibility. Their ongoing conflict is exemplified in the recent legal battle over immigration policies on Rikers Island.
"I mean, we now learned why she was trying to block everything I do," the mayor remarked, implying Adrienne Adams' opposition stems from her intentions to usurp his position as mayor.
Mandela Jones, a spokesperson for Speaker Adams, countered, stating, 'The mayor says a lot of things that are not true' regarding the timing of her political aspirations.
