Mayor Eric Adams made a strong public appearance after a week of health-related absence, denying rumors of his resignation. At an interfaith breakfast, he conveyed his struggles, mentioning a tough week due to illness. He critiqued the media for underreporting his administration's successes and shifted focus towards his upcoming campaign for re-election amidst a challenging political landscape. Adams confronted both real and perceived issues, rallying support from constituents while acknowledging the pressures of governing during a turbulent time marked by legal challenges and increasing public scrutiny.
Let me tell you why people are angry, because one of you is in charge of this city.
Last week was scary, it was hard, I'm not going to lie to you.
I'm an ordinary, dyslexic, hard-working, blue-collar mayor and those who have been in power for years who have denied you have to deal with the fact that we are now in charge.
The media wouldn't cover his administration's accomplishments on fighting crime, foster care and more.
