Eric Adams Abandons Re-election Bid for Mayor of New York City - The New York Times - "Mayor Adams’s campaign was left foundering after repeated scandals, a federal indictment and his courtship of President Trump." - he quit yesterday,

In a nearly nine-minute video message that began with Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” the mayor conceded that despite his best efforts, he could no longer see a path to re-election and would conclude his tumultuous mayoralty at year’s end.

He blamed “continued media speculation about my departure” and a decision by the city’s Campaign Finance Board to deny him public matching funds for his campaign, which has flagged amid anemic poll numbers and a cloud of scandal around City Hall.

“Despite all we’ve achieved,” he said, “I cannot continue my re-election campaign.”

Both Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa are still in the race, however.
