Eric Adams faces a choice between seeking a second term as New York City mayor and accepting a position at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development offered by the Trump administration. Adams met with members of the president's team during a Florida visit and has met with several elected officials. Trump advisors were also considering offering Republican Curtis Sliwa a position as part of a plan to damage the chances of frontrunner Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral race. Adams declined to answer whether he will abandon his reelection bid and said he will announce any campaign changes.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) has a choice to make: continue to fight for a second term as NYC mayor, or take a position within President Donald Trump's administration. That is the decision facing Adams on Wednesday, after Politico reported he has been offered a position at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The mayor, who has a friendly working and political relationship with Trump, met with the president's team during his visit Monday to Florida, the outlet reported, based on a source familiar with the meeting. Trump's advisors, according to several sources who spoke to The New York Times, were also considering giving Republican Curtis Sliwa a position as part of its plan to damage the chances that frontrunner Zohran Mamdani (D) wins the mayoral race.
I met with some of his team, Adams told Fox 5 in NYC. I met with several elected officials, and again, if there's any changes in this race, I will announce that.
