New York City Mayor Eric Adams has ended his re-election bid, citing low poll numbers and financial struggles. He announced his decision in a video on social media platform X, stating that he could no longer continue the campaign due to constant speculation about his future and reduced funding from the city’s campaign finance board. This exit opens up the possibility of an alternative challenger for Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani.
