Eric Adams won't rule out running for reelection as an independent [View all]
NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams remains a registered Democrat, but on Monday he repeatedly refused to rule out running for reelection as an independent.
“When I’m ready to … do my official re-announcement and my plan, I will do so. And I will make sure all of you are invited,” he told reporters, when asked about a recent New York Post story speculating that he may run on a politically unaffiliated ballot line in November if he loses the Democratic primary.
When asked if a theoretical run as an independent would help someone from the far left win the Democratic primary, the mayor again deflected.
“New Yorkers: Be careful what you wish for,” Adams said during a City Hall press conference. “I know how well we have done. I know how well we will continue to do for the next five years.”
