Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams on Wednesday revealed the city’s worst kept secret — he is running to replace Bill de Blasio as the next mayor of New York City.

The former NYPD officer, who has already raised nearly $2.6 million for a run he has long been teasing, made the announcement via a virtual event to officially toss his hat into the crowded ring for the 2021 mayoral race.

His campaign will be focused on appealing to more moderate portions of the party, including predominately black precincts in Central Brooklyn and southeastern Queens, experts say.

Good for him! De Blasio needs a swift kick in the pants.

He ran for Congress in 1994, endorsed by “The Nation of Islam”....Screwy Louie and his ilk. Sounds like he’d fit right in with the rest of the rats in NYC.

Well, without knowing a single thing about him, I can still confidently say that he couldn't possibly be worse than DiBlasio.

And of course the NOI is so bad even the Southern Poverty Law Center calls them a hate group.

In 1993, while President of the Ground Council of Guardians, Adams accused politician Herman Badillo of betraying his Hispanic heritage by having as his wife a white, Jewish woman (Irma, to whom Badillo had been married for 32 years, and who had Alzheimer’s disease), instead of a Latino....Sounds like the perfect race baiter at the right time.

I’d prefer either Rudy or Trump kids to be NYC Mayor.
The Gristede’s owner might be a nice choice also.

Years ago,he allowed a black criminal to get away in court where out of state police were waiting for him...Eric and the black dem judge allowed the black criminal to get away through the back door..It was 15 years ago or so,I hope his opponent brings it up.....

I just read upthread that this guy is a nutbar. It would be nice to see a normal person run against deBlasio.

“What do we know about this guy?”

Eric Adams is a former Police Officer who hates cops. Enough said.

Proper color, proper party, he has a chance.

Since he’s a Dem, doesn’t make any difference. Ok, couldn’t be worse than Diblasio, but he’s a Dem! Trash.

Eric Adams: Endorsed by the Nation of Islam, attacked Herman Badillo for "betraying" his race by marrying a non-Hispanic white, vocal opponent of the NYPD's "stop and frisk" policy (which he said constituted racial profiling), co-chair New York's State Legislators Against Illegal Guns, outspoken proponent of "marriage equality", OPPOSED expelling extremely violent convicted wife beater from the NY State Senate, etc., etc:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Adams_(politician)

Sounds like he and Bill 'Warren Wilhelm' de Blasio will be having a slapdown match over who is the MOST bat$hit crazy far-left communist! HOW EXCITING!

“I’d prefer either Rudy or Trump kids to be NYC Mayor.”

Not quite sure Rudy would want to run again but any of the Trump kids would be a great choice and would have a great chance to win.
