WNYC News | Apr 3, 2025

With his criminal case in the rearview mirror, Mayor Eric Adams is pivoting to his re-election campaign. He will run as an independent, eschewing a crowded Democratic primary. WNYC's Brittany Kriegstein has been speaking to voters in areas that supported Adams four years ago. She joined WNYC's Michael Hill to discuss what they're saying, and the history of New York City Mayors with an independent streak.
