New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) asserted on Sunday he was “going nowhere” despite growing calls within his party to resign after being embroiled in a bribery probe.
“And I want you to be clear — you’re going to hear so many rumors and so many things, you’re going to read so much. I am going nowhere. Nowhere,” Adams said, addressing congregants at Maranatha Baptist Church in Queens Village, according to video shared on the mayor’s social platform X page.
“I’m the second Black mayor in the history of the city. But God has fortified me. And no matter what you read, no matter what you hear, they want to fight me,” Adams said. “I’m going to fight for you.”
Adams is gearing up for a challenging reelection bid this year, with the Democratic primary scheduled for June 24 and the general election this November.

Yeah I’m not sure if we will notice any benefit from pardoning Eric Adam’s, unless he’s named names, and Pam Bondi will pursue criminal charges
“Frankley, I don’t see how dismissing the charges against him helped Trump in any way”
Ricker’s Island, ICE
Adams wasn't pardoned.
unless he’s named names, and Pam Bondi will pursue criminal charges
Trump's wanted charges dropped so that Adams would cooperate with ICE and deportations.
Well, Bloomberg and John Lindsay were “Republicans”.
Finally, some truth from an NYC Pol.
In this case, Hochul revealed what a hyper-partisan POS she is.
And a toilet bowl full of US persecutors revealed exactly what they are.
When you want to assure your supporters you will stand your ground, I think the proper phrase is “I’m not going anywhere”.
Saying “I’m going nowhere” sends the opposite message - that you’re dead in the water - that you can go no further.
This guy needs a new speech writer.
