Mayor Eric Adams‘ campaign continued to insist Thursday that Hizzoner would stay in the mayoral general election, even while saying that it would conduct its own “independent poll” to make a decision on whether or not he will drop out.
Adams’ campaign spokesperson, Todd Shapiro, said in a statement that Adams “never alluded” to exiting the contest in a private meeting with city business leaders on Wednesday, as NBC New York reported. During the confab, Adams — a Democrat running as an independent — reportedly expressed openness to suspending his campaign if his low poll numbers do not improve.
