Eric Adams, surrounded by faith leaders, officially launches his reelection campaign
City & State NY ^ | June 26, 2025 | Sahalie Donaldson, Annie McDonough

It would take an act of God for this man to be reelected, and if he is to be believed, there just might be one.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ reelection campaign stepped out of the shadows on Thursday, with a kickoff rally that crowded the steps of City Hall. The show of support for the recently embattled incumbent mayor came not from establishment Democrats or major unions who backed him in 2021, but the faith leaders who have stood by him through unprecedented turmoil over the past year…

Adams, who has leaned on his faith in good times and bad. He’s suggested his path to City Hall was divinely ordained. Following his indictment on corruption charges last fall, it was faith leaders who rallied behind him as he faced calls to resign. When those charges were dropped at the insistence of the Trump Department of Justice – sparking new calls to resign in light of his cozying up to the Republican president – he said his “faith in God is stronger right now than it ever is.”

Is Adams a tried and true conservative? No, but he’s aligned enough with most New Yorkers and was a registered Republican between 1995-2002. A cop at the time, he believed Dems to be too soft on crime, among other things… Does he have skeletons? Yes, but they’re out, and who doesn’t. Has he flip flopped on things like illegal immigration? Yes but unlike Chicago, and other major big city mayors, he’s openly lamented the excesses of sanctuary status for awhile now, and respects Trump.

Some places are in better shape no doubt (hence all the NYers including Trump who have set up camp in Florida) — but honestly isn’t most of America not in great shape period? 😕

He’s as far to the right as you can expect for any NYC mayor.

At the other end of the state, we had a similar situation in Buffalo in 2021. Then mayor Byron Brown was defeated in the Democrat primary by socialist whack job India Walton. Brown didn’t take her very seriously. He ran as an independent in November and got re-elected. Now, Brown is a Democrat, to be sure, but he didn’t put up with all the ‘Summer of Love’ nonsense that other mayors seemed to tolerate. I mean, no Republican is going to be elected mayor of Buffalo, so you take what you can.

Agreed. And God can use Adams for HIS will. We all need to be in prayer for that.

I still hate it when someone puts on a *Christian* show to advance a career and win points.

Using Jesus or God, never ends well.

Something about not taking the Lord’s name in vain.

Zohran Mamdani educational qualifications from Wikipedia .....

“Mamdani attended Bowdoin College in Maine, where he co-founded the school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine. He graduated in 2014 with a bachelor’s degree in Africana studies.[25][26]”

He’s not qualified to run a lemonade stand but he’s ready to run NYC? NYC will prove the be the biggest idiots on the planet if they elect this clown.

-they are relying on Eric Adams to save them-

Eric has released his election slogan:

I’m crazy but I’m not bat-shit crazy like the rest of them.

“Dem white folk all be cray cray.”

And he wouldn’t be wrong. You got the beret guy, the crazy-eyed middle eastern guy, and the guy who pushed seniors under the bus while copping a feel.

Adam’s actually looks sane next to that crew.

You’ve apparently never spent any time reading about the beret guy as you so dismissively refer to Curtis Sliwa. He’s literally taken bullets for New Yorkers.

I know who he is.

He has zero chance of being mayor.

The GOP in NYC must be in dire shape if he is the best you guys can put up.

You’re probably right but the people of NYC are obviously stupid.
