Adrienne Adams, speaker of the New York City Council, publicly urged Mayor Eric Adams to resign after four deputy mayors announced their departures, highlighting a significant loss of trust within his administration. Adams's call reflects growing discontent over the mayor's perceived prioritization of personal interests over the needs of New York City amidst scandals and indictments. Former City Council speaker Christine Quinn noted the unprecedented nature of such a statement, emphasizing it as a severe mark of no confidence that jeopardizes collaborative governance.
"It has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers."
"This was the first I had ever heard of a speaker calling for the resignation of a mayor. It's an incredible vote of no confidence."
