Jumaane Williams, New York City’s public advocate, risks taking charge if Mayor Eric Adams resigns amid corruption scandals, focusing on policing and jail reforms.
Williams criticized Adams' aggressive policing strategies and voiced concerns over the mayor's leadership amid multiple federal investigations, likening the city’s current corruption issues to Tammany Hall.
If Williams becomes mayor, he has three days to schedule a special election to find a new mayor, utilizing the city's ranked-choice voting system.
Adams insists he will not resign, emphasizing his election by over 700,000 voters in 2021 and stating he will continue to serve the city.
