NYC Mayor's Race: Eric Adams still insists he's staying in contest following weekend with no public campaign events

Following a quiet weekend on the campaign trail, Mayor Eric Adams on Monday again insisted that his reelection bid is full steam ahead, amid continued speculation that he may bow out of the race.

Less than 50 days from the Nov. 4 election that will decide his fate, Adams was nowhere to be found over the weekend. While all of his opponents made various stops across the city, Hizzoner kept out of the spotlight.

During various television and radio appearances on Sept. 22, the mayor attributed his completely blank campaign schedule to having to focus on his official duties.

“You know what’s unique about them? They don’t have day jobs. I have a day job,” Adams said of his opponents during an interview Monday morning with conservative host Sid Rosenberg on WABC-AM radio. “I have to run the most complex city in the entire country, if not the globe. And I have to stay focused on doing that. And that’s what I’m doing. I am straight ahead in the campaign. I’m going to continue to run the city and run for re-election.”
