Eric Adams slides the side door

Eric Adams said to TimesThinking about his life course, in 2021, when he was running for the mayor of New York City. Adams, who grew up in southern Jamaica, Queens, in the 1970s and eighties, has long been able to be considered a role model for the children of the working class of the outer town, especially for black youth. At the right time, his faults became known. “I am completely incomplete,” he said on many occasions, when he fell into small lies, contradictions and conflicts of interests that formed his political reputation. On Sunday, in a terrifying for eight minutes and six -year, confident video Posted on X, Adams announced that he would not actively seek to re -select, which made responsibility for a long time – that he comes on the first of January, and will not be his president – and enhance his recent and largest mistakes as his inheritance.

The list of mayors in New York City is the ability to women, failure, mixing and accountability in New York City, however, even in this non -light tradition, Adams will emerge for some time. What started as “Tabahi” – a mayor in the city, in ways that have not been seen for decades – with a blatant ignorance of the uncleanness of corruption and inside the transactions of his friends, allies and advisers. Despite the supervision of the city hall, which was driven forward major initiatives in housing and division, which provided temporary housing and other services to hundreds of thousands of immigrants, and this containers in the trash in the city, among other accomplishments, Adams may be remembered at the present time, and they have, and they were invited in the fall of 2023. The Federal Reserve was unable to reach the contents of this mobile device. Before the criminal corruption case against Adams was able to move forward in the trial, Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential elections, and Adams ended with a deal with the Trump administration to escape the charges. The price was cooperation – or at least silence – as the Federal Reserve began to immigrate in New York. “If it does not come, I will return to New York City,” Tom Human, Tsar Border Trump, said during a joint appearance with Adams on Fox News, after the deal was made. “I will be in his office, and the top of his ass, saying:” Where is hell is the agreement that we reached? “” “

In the video, which was announced on Sunday, Adams descends in a brittle white shirt, with his arms, and descends a carpet covered in the Grace Palace and sits a big picture of his late mother, Dorothy May Adams, next to him on the steps. Once again, he refuses to take responsibility for making himself not just a legal and political responsibility for the city, but also laughing. “A wrong charge was charged because I fought for this city, and if I had to do this again, I will fight for New York again,” he says to the camera. Perhaps a deal with Trump had kept him outside the prison, but it was clear after that, from the way his survey numbers fell and his employees and his allies fled, and that his political career had ended. Adams remained a mayor and maintained the attempt to re -select, despite being clearly and deeply fun, he suffers from his pledges, which he repeated again on Sunday, that “this campaign was never about me.”

While watching his support and financing dries, Adams allowed the sixty -five -year -old recently his younger assistants online, and he published a cracked MIM content in the hope of attracting Yulo The vote, but it was not glorified. Opinion polls have shown that he is constantly lagged not only Zahran Mamdani, the socialist young man who shocked the world by winning the democratic preliminary elections in June, Andrew Como, the former deformed ruler who launched an independent offer from the burned land after he was distorted by Mamdani in the electoral stage; Khalaf Cortis Sliwa, a former street goalkeeper wearing a red street and the political Gadfly, who will appear on the Republican line. On Sunday, Adams confessed to reality. He said: “The ongoing media speculation about my future and the decision of the campaign to finance the campaign to block millions of dollars has undermined my ability to raise the funds necessary for a dangerous campaign.” Soon after, a spokesman for a statement indicating that Adams sent plans to serve the rest of his mandate, but “he will not make individual interviews and appreciate the understanding of the press and the public,” as if Adams was a celebrity in the midst of the outstanding wit.

Months ago, Adams was the one who expected this year’s mayor’s campaign “a lot of transformations and turns”, and ended up with “one of the most exciting races that we had in the history of this city.” It is not clear what the effect of his exit, though. Continuous rumors in recent weeks were that the Trump administration is working to limit it for a job, perhaps in the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, as an ambassador in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, or some of the other unwanted position. His withdrawal will satisfy Mamdani’s strong and deep opponents, who are trying to unify the field against the young candidate before November. Mamdani has a health progress in each poll, and he has already beat Komo badly once this year. In his video, Adams presented a tacit criticism of Mamdani, warning that “our children are subjected to extremism”, and this was recently called “Thuaaban” and “liar” – difficult to see him failing any candidate in the final weeks of the campaign, although Adams was right about turns and turns. A few days ago, when reports indicated that he would leave the race, Adams denied angrily several times. Why did he decide to bend now, unlike six days, or three months ago, or the moment the FBI asked for his iPhone, it may decrease as another mysterious ambiguity in a political profession that has been forgotten a long time ago. Another mistake from their master. ♦
