Eric Adams Heads to Mar-a-Lago to Meet With Trump
Source: NYT
Mayor Adams has made quite clear his willingness to work with President-elect Trump and his incoming administration on behalf of New Yorkers and that partnership with the federal government is critical to New York Citys success, Fabien Levy, the mayors spokesman, said in an email.
Mr. Adams, a Democrat, has drawn criticism from members of his party for appearing to cozy up to Mr. Trump. And while Mr. Adams has expressed a desire to work productively with the incoming administration, critics have suggested that his warmth toward the president-elect masks a different motivation.
In September, Mr. Adams was indicted on five federal corruption charges, part of an investigation that he argues is political retribution for his criticism of President Bidens immigration policies. Mr. Trump has publicly commiserated with Mr. Adams and seconded his depiction of a Justice Department run amok. Mr. Adams has expressed openness to the notion of receiving a presidential pardon.

We're just the wild wild west these days. Laws? Social values? Morals? Gone. And it doesn't matter imo if you have an R or D after your name.

(19,552 posts)I admit I put Adam's as #4 on ranked voting.
It was our first RCV ever in NYC.
I did read up on it, but not %100 sure that only putting 2, or 3 people down was a good thing.
I can't remember who voted for at #2, #3.
Maya Wiley was my #1, first choice.
