Mayor Eric Adams is still on the outs with President Biden, revealing on Tuesday that they have not met in person for nearly a year.
“I have not communicated with the president since I think earlier this year,” Adams said, during his weekly off-topic news conference. “Either earlier this year or late last year around the same time.”
Adams and Biden’s once close Democratic Party-allyship has soured over the course of the migrant crisis, which has seen more than 150,100 newcomers arrive in the Big Apple over the past 19 months. The mayor has repeatedly slammed the president in public for not covering the sizable cost of providing shelter and services for new arrivals or enacting a plan to divert them to other places around the country.
