In a recent press conference, Mayor Eric Adams defended his low-key approach to his re-election campaign for the 2025 NYC mayoral race. Although he has refrained from traditional campaign events and ideas, he insists his involvement in town hall meetings and engagements with houses of worship counts as campaigning. He has been criticized for not attending candidates' forums and for running a campaign with minimal staff. Adams continues efforts to secure a position on the primary ballot while navigating speculation regarding the timing of his active campaigning.
Adams insisted he’s campaigning unofficially through public events like town halls and religious speeches, even as he skips traditional campaign activities.
He criticized questions about his re-election visibility by questioning the very definition of what campaigning means.
Despite a lack of traditional campaign presence, he asserted he is petitioning for the June 24 primary ballot and remains engaged with New Yorkers.
Political observers are curious if Adams is delaying direct campaigning until federal District Judge's decisions are made clear.
