New York Mayor Eric Adams set out Thursday to persuade skeptical voters to grant him a second term, hosting a kickoff event for his independent reelection bid after a corruption indictment, a controversial dismissal and a decision to drop out of a the Democratic primary.
On the steps of City Hall, Adams rattled off his political accomplishments while punctuating his speech with barbs for the expected Democratic nominee, Zohran Mamdani, casting the young liberal as a child of privilege with no real political achievements or realistic policies.
“This election is a choice between a candidate with a blue collar” and one with a “silver spoon,” Adams said.
“A choice between dirty fingernails and manicured nails,” he added.
Two days ago, progressive upstart Mamdani declared a stunning Democratic primary victory over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the presumed favorite despite a sexual harassment scandal that forced him from office four years ago.

No kidding. The dude’s bikini is a three piece suit.
It is EXACTLY how you would position a plant to take over a country with islam and make our country a slave to the pedophiles.
Good! Adams must win. I actually think he will. I didn’t realize until today that the general mayor race doesn’t allow rank voting. Only the primaries.
What a choice
Adams is a corrupt machine democrat who thought he could make big $$ off the migrant scam.
But at least he’s not a globalist-marxist-Davos plant.
He’ll get the support of Wall Street, NY moderates and even Trump and the GOP
Young people in MYC with crappy job prospects after getting good college, degrees, no real hope of owning property, paying 5,000 a month for a decent house or living with a bunch of people to be able to afford it, leftist maniacs and the 40% foreign born voting population in NYc
Have no freaking idea what a silver spoon references
I personally have a silver cup, monogrammed. My people were from a silver spoon gang
My cousins don’t even get this reference
Adams needs to get with the program or let a competent person come in or NYC will be either destroyed or learn the hard way that socialism is not free stuff. It’s paying for the leaders to live in castles, take helicopters around town, allow illegal immigrants with no regard door the host city to take over
What a marroon!
Ahab is getting the David Duke treatment.
Still early in the campaign, so everyone’s trying to avoide publicly using ‘The M. Word’ (Muslim!!).
Pretty soon, that Mastodon sized Elephant in the room will demand to be acknowledged, whether it makes people ‘uncomfortable’ or not.
The nanosecond Mamdani is elected as Mayor (heaven forbid!), the polite veneer of Taquiya will be over and done with. No more need to pretend to be civilized, lighthearted and/or magnanimous.
Mayor Addams needs to address why he did not do more about Atty. Bragg’s No Bail policies, that are allowing scores of violent offenders to walk free after being witnessed in their crimes.
True, but as a corrupt transactional Democrat, he is now in a transaction with Trump and will play ball with the Trump Administration. And he probably hates his party for rejecting him so harshly. I still think he's a long shot (not as much so now that the Commie is the Dem candidate), but his win would be good.
Between 1995 and 2002, Eric Adams was a registered Republican.

Adamas is just as much Deep State as Mamdani.
Deep State has ensured that voters have no choice that is MAGA.
The only prayers NYSers have at the moment is for Pres. Trump to send the DOJ in to clean up Albany and Gotham.
“Born with a silver spoon in his mouth” is an old fashioned class warfare jibe. Most voters over a certain age will get it. The Muslim and 9/11 terrorist sympathizer angles will be there too, but unstated.
Current Mayor Eric Adams presence in the election as an Independent might give a strong GOP candidate a chance to win a plurality.
Sliwa needs to drop out.
Amen. Praying for moderates and conservatives and non socialist liberals to unite around Mayor Adams.
