Mayor Eric Adams on Friday refused to rule out joining the GOP as he readies himself for a re-election bid among a crowded field of Democrats. The Democratic mayor, who was previously a member of the Republican Party from 1995 through 2002, left things open-ended during two interviews. “Would you ever consider rejoining the GOP?” Adams was asked during his first sit-down of the day with NY1. Hizzoner responded, “The party that’s most important for me is the American party. “I’m a part of the American party. I love this country,” Adams said.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Thursday reignited what has come to be a semi-routine feud with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on social media, fuming over his criticism of President Biden’s decision to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement. Biden signed a flurry of executive orders on his first day in office, which included the commitment to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. Former President Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement during his term, informing the United Nations in November 2019, although it did not formally go into effect until November 2020.
