Investing.com -- New York City Mayor Eric Adams has declared his intention to run for reelection as an independent candidate, bypassing the Democratic primary. The decision comes amidst the aftermath of a recently dismissed federal bribery case.
Adams made his announcement in a post on X, stating, "I am running for mayor in the general election because our city needs independent leadership that understands working people." Despite his independent run, Adams affirmed his affiliation with the Democratic party in a video message.
He attributed his decision to bypass the Democratic primary to the protracted dismissal of the case against him. Adams stated, "The dismissal of the bogus case against me dragged on too long, making it impossible to mount a primary campaign while these false accusations were held over me."
