Eric Adams was once a rising star in the Democratic Party. His reelection will hinge on taking down the newest one.
Hours after Zohran Mamdani’s performance in New York City’s Democratic primary electrified national politics, Adams painted the 33-year-old democratic socialist as an entitled and inexperienced lawmaker trying to hoodwink New Yorkers with unrealistic campaign proposals.
“This is a city not of socialism,” Adams said.
Speaking Thursday on the steps of City Hall, Adams pitched himself as a tested, working-class leader focused on public safety and economic recovery who wants to complete the job he set out to do nearly four years ago. He signaled that he intends to paint Mamdani as elitist and out of touch with the needs of Black and Latino communities.
“This election is a choice between a candidate with a blue collar and one with a suit and silver spoon – a choice between dirty fingernails and manicured nails,” Adams said. “It’s a choice between real progress and empty promises.”
Mamdani was shown Adams’ comments on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.” He smiled and held his hands up to the camera.
“They’re not looking that great right now,” he said.
Adams is a 64-year-old retired police captain who later became a state senator and Brooklyn borough president. Having run a law-and-order focused campaign four years ago, he highlighted his administration’s work overseeing a steady drop in overall crime, a record increase in jobs and tourism, and a push to approve and build more affordable housing.

In case your unaware, Adams moved up in the NYPD through a series of EEOs, while Curtis Sliwa has been stabbed no less than FIVE times while patrolling the streets and subways of nyc with The Guardian Angels.

You might want to keep that in mind.
My point: "what is the best way to triangulate against the muslim and put Mamdani back in the box?"

Thank you.
Unreal to see anyone diminishing Curtis Sliwa’s time on the streets of NYC, while lifting up EEOC Eric.
Curtis and Lisa are real and definite heroes who saved lives back in the bad old days. I get the need to elect Adams, but no one should demean them.
The movie is real life at this point.
I met him in the late 80’s when I worked there. McSorley’s.
Art Carney, too. Both incredible men.
I want Adams. He owes Trump and winning another term can change things for the better in NYC.
I don’t care. Sliwa cannot be elected. He should drop out.
Omygosh. Who writes Adams's stuff? The Babylon Bee?
Yeah, I know right? Giving up is always a great option.
Good thing George Washington didn’t have that mindset....SMH unbelievable.
That’s not how Addams or the average American speaks, unless the intention is to sound formal or European.
The people you have to put in the box are our traitorous gang of RINOs upholding the vast corruption that DOGE documented. We are sick and support Trump/Maga. The other choice is full blown communist. RINO is not a viable political option any more. Even AOC and Jasmine are smarter than those clowns.
Have you ever lived in New York? Were you born and raised there like I was? Did you live there through the worst years of Democrat rule like I did? Do you have any idea about Manhattan politics? If the answer to any of these questions is no, then you don’t know what you are talking about. SMH unbelievable. This is politics, nothing personal.
we need to get a decent, moral American into city hall
and DEFINITELY NOT this (particular) Islamicist who sounds like an enemy agent and, for all practical purposes, a communist or something quite like it, too
New York, like it or not, is just too important to flush down the Terrorista Toilet
I would love to see Adams again.
This election will probably be a choice between evil (Mamdani) and incompetent (Adams). Yikes.
Easy choice. Adams.
HS buddy recently retired NYPD crossed paths professionally with Adam a dew times. His take: “Competent enough, but out and out racist” made David Duke look like Mother Teresa”
