Mayor Eric Adams has raised just $36,000 over the past two months in his tenuous re-election bid — a paltry sum that trails every one of his major Democratic primary competitors, according to his Tuesday filing with the city Campaign Finance Board (CFB).
The meager showing from Hizzoner, who had once been a prolific fundraiser, is further evidence that his re-election bid is sputtering in the wake of multiple scandals that have crippled his administration. Those include his federal corruption indictment, the mass exodus of his top aides, and President Trump moving to drop his federal case in what many believe was a quid pro quo for Adams’ cooperation on immigration enforcement.
