Adams wins New York City mayor’s race
Carried by a diverse coalition of supporters across the five boroughs, the victory gives him a powerful mandate to take over the reins from Mayor de Blasio, who’s leaving office at the end of this year due to term limits.
Eric Adams has won the New York City mayor’s race, fending off Republican and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa. Adams, the current Brooklyn Borough president and a former state senator and police captain, had been the overwhelming favorite to win the general election after emerging victorious from a fierce primary battle in July. |
