Eric Adams vs. Cuomo, Campaign Cash and the Media

Mayor Eric Adams is still in the race to get reelected — and he wants you to know it. In this candid interview, Adams takes aim at his political rival Andrew Cuomo, pushes back on persistent media narratives, and blames campaign finance setbacks on what he calls “lawfare” and rumor-fueled media coverage. Adams insists he's not dropping out — and that the public hasn’t been told the full story.

We talk about the federal indictment that was later dropped by the Trump administration, the toll of constant speculation, and the uphill battle of running for reelection while navigating both policy crises and personal scrutiny. Plus: thoughts on Trump and Biden, Israel and Gaza, immigration, ChatGPT, and why he still loves Prospect Park. It’s Eric Adams — defensive, defiant, and determined to change the narrative. Will it work?

ERIC ADAMS' PICKS

  • A book: The Science of Mind, by Ernest Holmes

  • A museum: Brooklyn Museum

  • Parks: Prospect Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park

  • An AI tool: ChatGPT
