Mayor Eric Adams’ last-minute decision to attend newly sworn-in Republican President Donald Trump’s Monday inauguration drew swift backlash from many of his fellow New York Democrats, even including one of his close allies.
According to City Hall, Adams attended Trump’s inauguration at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 20 just hours after being invited by the president’s team early Monday morning. He canceled his public schedule, which included Martin Luther King Jr. Day events in the five boroughs, to travel to DC for the event.
