Mayor Eric Adams declared last Friday that he is staying in the New York City mayor’s race because he is the only candidate who can defeat Democratic nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani.
“I am running, and I’m going to beat Mamdani, and I’m going to continue the success that the city has witnessed,” Adams said during the news conference at Gracie Mansion — the mayoral residence — amid reports that he had been moving closer to scoring a plum post in President Trump’s administration.
