Politician Eric Adams, a former NYPD officer, state senator, and Brooklyn borough president—and, yes, a former Republican—can add New York City mayor to his résumé…

According to Politico, Adams was a registered Republican from 1995 to 2002. And according to City Limits, Adams said in 1995 that Republican values aligned with those of some Black voters, and by 1999, he was labeling himself a conservative Republican.

Years later, in 2013, Adams said he switched parties only out of concerns that New York City Democrats were “too soft on crime.” And his friend Norman Siegel, former head of the New York Civil Liberties Union, believed that Adams’s party-switching was part of him charting his political future.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

He’s not perfect but certainly a step up from the disaster that was DeBlasio and WAY preferable to Zohran Mamdani. Prayers up!

Can’t both Cuomo and Admas split Mamdani’s vote, and someone wins with 34% of the vote?

Having spent only 7 days in NYC this year, I’m nowhere near an expert, but it seems to me that Adams *could* win again. Mandani’s support boils down to young leftist idiots. Yes, NYC has a lot of them, but they’re not a majority. If everyone else consolidates behind Adams, he would win.

His time as a Republican coincides with Rudy’s being Mayor of NY 1994-2001.

Likely changed his registration to enhance his chances of promotion.

If Bloomberg had any morality he’d donate a billion to Adams.

“Mandani’s support boils down to young leftist idiots.”

Yesterday we watched a man-on-the-street segment on Newsmax (can’t recall which show) where people were asked their opinion on this guy. We were shocked to see that well-heeled elderly people LOVE him! The younger ones tended to not be so enthusiastic.
