Mayor Eric Adams is contemplating a political strategy that would allow him to run as a Republican in the upcoming mayoral election, despite his commitment to the Democratic Party. This plan involves utilizing the state's Wilson-Pakula law, allowing him to gain Republican support if he is not nominated in the Democratic primary. Discussions with GOP officials reflect his efforts to secure a potential pathway back to City Hall amidst challenges like a federal corruption case and unfavorable polling results. Adams maintains his intention not to officially switch parties.
It's a Hail Mary in case he doesn't get the primary nod, indicating the strategy to seek GOP support while remaining a Democrat.
Adams has insisted he has zero plans to switch parties ahead of the mayoral race, telling the Post: 'I am not running as a Republican.'
