Mayor Eric Adams made a stop at Confucius Plaza in Chinatown Friday afternoon for a campaign rally, where local leaders in the Asian American and Pacific Islander community endorsed the independent candidate and criticized Democratic candidate and Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani (D-Queens).
Welcomed to the rally by Chinese dragon dancing, Adams thanked the crowd for their support and urged New Yorkers against voting for Mamdani, who is leading the mayoral race in most polls. Adams opened his remarks by chanting “Four more years” in Chinese with the crowd before quipping that he does not “need anyone to give me directions to come to Confucius Plaza, I’ve been here so many times before.”
