New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced he will abandon the Democratic primary and instead run for reelection as an independent candidate, a move that speaks volumes about the current state of the Democratic Party. Adams, a former police officer who has governed as a moderate Democrat, has apparently had enough of being handcuffed by his own party. Honestly, how refreshing is it to see a Democrat finally admit what weve known all along?
From Fox News:
Im in the race to the end. Im not running on the Democratic line. Its just not realistic to turn around my numbers and to run a good campaign (from) where we are right now, Adams said. It hurts like hell.
