A fresh flurry of federal raids on Mayor Eric Adams’ inner circle—this time involving some of his top deputies — could leave him more vulnerable than ever as
New York City Mayor Eric Adams speaks during a press conference at the City Hall, after it was revealed that he received a fresh round of federal grand jury subpoenas, New York City, U.S., August 16, 2024. REUTERS/Adam Gray—this time involving some of his top deputies — could leave him more vulnerable than ever as a growing field of challengers looks to take his job in next year’s Democratic primary.
Neither the mayor nor any of his aides ensnared in the investigations have been charged with a crime. “If he’s not distracted by all this, he’s delusional, and if this is what his focus looks like, he needs new lenses,” Stringer said in a Friday statement. But Basil Smikle, former head of the state Democratic Party and an ex-political consultant, suggested the mayor’s opponents may be getting ahead of themselves. He said right now the latest federal actions “raises a lot of questions, but no clear answers as to the fate of Adams’ mayoralty.”
“The mayor’s problem is that he can’t point to a singular achievement that would standout, an administration-defining achievement, one thing that people could hold onto that would serve as a block to people thinking about something else,” Sheinkopf said. “He needs a singular accomplishment that makes all of this feel unimportant.”
