Michael Goodwin: Eric Adams is in it to win it against ‘diabolical’ far-left Mamdani in NYC mayoral race
New York Post ^ | September 9, 2025 | Michael Goodwin

The polls say Mayor Eric Adams is a sure-fire loser in November and wall-to-wall reports have him dropping out of the race or leaving City Hall early to take a job in the Trump administration.

He tells me neither is true and that he has never spoken to the president about a job.

My impression after a fast-paced interview with him Monday is that quitting and defeat truly are far from his mind.

“I will finish my term,” he said emphatically, and insists he still has a chance at re-election.

“I feel strong and I’m not giving up,” he added.

“It’s too early to throw in the towel.”

We were sitting in Gracie Mansion, and the mayor’s upbeat mood was a match for the bright, sunny day.

He barely flinched when I asked what he would do differently if he could rewind the clock to 2022, when he took office.

His quick answer came with conviction.

“Some of my appointments and hires,” he said, “I would have done differently, out of the gate.”

KEYWORDS:
Long interview with Adams, but nothing by upbeat talking points.

Goodwin seems to be pushing for Adams to win. Which seems a lost cause to me.

Adams — the only black candidate in the race — is polling around 25% among BLACK voters.

That’s all the evidence you need that he’s been an awful mayor even by NYC standards.

True - but, if they don’t reelect him, they are insane because the other option is so much worse.

Sorry adams has no real chance. Ny’ers it seems want to elect someone who’s religious faith is that from the middle east... the very religion which attacked ny on 9/11

Ny seems hell bent on allowing a foreign religious extremist to run the state and desteoy its principles (what little they had left anywzys)

The left do not love this nation. They eant this nation to crumble under the influence of the hateful violent religious extremism of radical islam

Mamdani is fortunate enough to be running against a 3-person opposition circular firing squad.
