Adams is coming into office as an immensely powerful mayor, with a broad base of support in the city’s labor unions and working class communities of color
Photo: Getty Images The last day of a 15-month long race for mayor of New York was not boring, even the outcome of the contest was not in doubt. Eric Adams, the Democratic nominee, made his final public appearance on a radio show — in this case, one hosted by Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz and Trump donor John Catsimatidis. He faced further questions about his residency and parking habits.
Adams will come into office leading a city facing a daunting set of problems: a pandemic that has left 34,000 dead and an unemployment rate still higher than the national average, an ongoing crisis in housing and homelessness, a school system that has lost 50,000 students since a year ago, and a stubbornly high crime rate.
“We will fight for you, not fight each other anymore,” Hochl said. “I am excited to have a tremendous partner.”
