Mayor Eric Adams left the door open to dropping his re-election campaign in a new interview — just weeks after definitely insisting that he was staying in the race.
In a sit-down on MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation,” host the Rev. Al Sharpton asked Adams if he’d confirm there was “no circumstance” under which he’d withdraw from the crowded November election.
“No, I can’t say that,” Adams replied during the Saturday interview.
Adams, who is struggling with high public disapproval ratings and placing fourth in polls, said he was conferring with his staff and vowed that he’ll make the “right decision” for New York City.
The incumbent mayor, who is running as an independent, expressed frustration over the difficulty of raising campaign funds with rumors swirling about him dropping his re-election bid and taking a job, including in the Trump administration.
