These lies are being spread by desperate opponents who can\u2019t match the mayor\u2019s record, his campaign energy, or his support across this city. The truth is Mayor Adams has more than 20 events scheduled this weekend alone, including major rallies and community stops, plus dozens of fundraisers lined up. The campaign is alive, strong, and fully engaged \u2014 just like the mayor himself. Eric Adams is in this race to win it, and no amount of fake chatter or political spin will change that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/bronx.news12.com\/mayor-eric-adams-says-he-wont-quit-the-race-and-is-the-only-one-who-can-beat-mamdani\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adams declared his intention to stay in the race<\/a> at the end of a fraught week that began with a trip to Florida, where Trump administration intermediaries sought to assess his willingness to quit the race to take a job with the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>Adams appeared to leave the door open to a departure, releasing a statement saying he \u201cwill always listen if called to serve our country\u201d but adding he had not yet received any \u201cformal offers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hours later, he summoned reporters to the mayor\u2019s official residence, Gracie Mansion, to slam that door back shut.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am in this race. And I am the only one who can beat Mamdani,&#8221; Adams said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York City Mayor Eric Adams has made a decision and will likely drop out of the mayoral&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":227792,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,5289,5288,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-227791","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-eric-adams","10":"tag-mayor-eric-adams","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkcity","15":"tag-ny","16":"tag-nyc","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-united-states-of-america","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","21":"tag-us","22":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115206303696505327","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227791\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
