How did a pro-cop candidate end up leading mayoral polls in a city that protested police brutality in massive numbers?
Eric Adams has consistently polled at or around the top of the heap of people running in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor—and the Democratic primary is widely considered the determinant of who wins the mayor’s office this fall. Adams was an officer in the NYPD for more than 20 years, and he has centered that experience during his campaign.
When he launched his campaign, we were coming out of like the George Floyd protests, so he would have been crazy to project himself public safety candidate. So he took a couple of different tacks along the way. Among other things, he’s a strict vegan. He was diagnosed with diabetes a number of years ago—he was half blind, was sort of obese, and had a lot of health problems. After getting the diagnosis, he started cooking all his own food and subscribing to a strict vegan diet.
