Mayor Eric Adams stepped into City Hall’s rotunda to a hip-hop soundtrack Tuesday, ending his administration in his signature mayoral style steeped in swagger.

The party voted to back Assemblywoman Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas over State Sen. Jessica Ramos in the Democratic primary for state Senate District 13 covering the Queens neighborhoods of Corona, East Elmhurst and Jackson Heights.
