New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing bribery and fraud charges, with his arraignment scheduled for Friday. The situation has sparked a divide among the city’s influential figures on whether he should resign. Some elected officials, including Representative Jerrold Nadler, City Comptroller Brad Lander, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have called for his resignation. However, there are voices, such as The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal editorial boards, and some leaders in the business community, advocating for Mayor Adams to remain in office.
Despite the growing pressure, Mayor Adams has maintained his stance of not resigning, asserting his innocence and challenging the prosecutors’ motives. The New York Post’s editorial board emphasized the importance of allowing Mayor Adams to present a defense while continuing to serve his term for the fairness and benefit of New York City.
Governor Kathy Hochul holds significant influence in this matter as she has the authority to remove the mayor. While she and Mayor Adams have been political allies, Governor Hochul issued a brief statement on Thursday indicating that she is considering all options regarding the situation.
